Summary
A long time ago there was king who that was searching for the secret of success. He thought that if he could answer three questions, he would find the secret of success. The questions were: What is the most important time to start some work? What is the most important work to do? Who is the most important person? The king asked his ministers, courtiers and the wise and learned people, but no one could answer. The king announced the prize, but no one could answer.To find answers of the questions, the king disguised himself as a poor man and went to a saint. The king placed his questions before him, asked their answers but the saint kept quiet. The king spent the whole day with him. In meantime, a wounded and breaded man came there and collapsed. The king dressed his wounds. The man was his enemy. The treatment and behavior of the king changed his mind and he became his faithful servant. The saint then told the king the answers. The most important time to start some work is present, the most important work is what we are doing now and the most important person is that man with whom we are at the moment.
