Nasreddin Hodja and the Candle

Nasreddin Hodja's story absolutely has its own lessons. first and foremost, do not brag over something that we are not capable to do. in this story, Hodja had bragged himself that he can stay out all night in the cold and he also claimed that he used to break the ice on the river so that he could swim in the water. however, if we look at the plot of the story again, Hodja is actually regretted for what he did, he wished that he hadn't agreed to the bargain. he himself actually cannot stand the cold! this part crystal clearly shows that bragging over something that we cannot sure whether we can do something is absolutely pointless. in fact, it may lead us to have a great and onerous work to make it possible. i learnt much that it is no use for us to bragged our self just to make others proud with us. we have to know who we are, what are the things that we can do, and what are the things that we cannot do. never do something that we cannot ascertain whether we can do it or not and never emulate Hodja for the things he had done, or else, be prepared to bear the consequences! Hodja had overcome his cold problems by imagined that the warmth of the light helped warm the blood flowing through his cold body. this is the things that we can learn and be proud of him. he did not give up in the cold thus he try to find solutions to resolve his problems. although it is not so genius problem solution, but it is fine enough as long as it can reduce or making the problems become less. just by thinking out of the box, Hodja managed to survived in the cold till the end of the story. this story convince me that nothing cant be solved and there will always be a solutions to our problem. the rest is lie on us whether we are able to find the keys towards the solutions or not.
