Mango

Once there was a man who liked to eat mangoes. One day he decided to

get the sweetest mango available, from the very top of the tree. Mango

which is exposed to the sun the most is the sweetest. So he climbed up

to the top, where the branches were thin. He managed to pick up a few

sweet reddish fruits, but in attempt to go back he slipped and started

falling towards the ground.

Fortunately, he cached the branch as he was falling and remained

helplessly hanging on a tree. Then he started to call nearby villagers

for help. They immediately came with a ladder and sticks, but could do

little to help him.

After some time one calm and thoughtful person arrived - a well-known

sage who lived in a simple hut nearby. People were very curious what

he will do, as he was famous in solving many people's problems in the

area, sometimes very complicated ones. He was silent for a minute and

then picked up a stone and - hit it at the hanging man.

Everybody was surprised. Hanging mango lover started shouting: "What

are you doing?! Are you crazy? Do you want me to break my neck?"

Sage was silent. Then again, he took the stone and hit it at the man

on a tree. Man was furious: "If I could just come down, I would show

you... !"

That's what everybody wanted. That he comes down. But how?

Now everybody was tense, what will happen next. Some wanted to

chastise the sage, but they didn't. Sage picked another stone and -

throw it again at the man, even more forcefully. Now the man at the

tree completely flipped out and developed a great determination to

come down and revenge. He then used all his skill and strength and

somehow reached the branches which were safe to start going down. And

he made it! Everybody was amazed.

"Where is the sage?!" - exclaimed the rescued man.

"Oh, he is a wise man. So he didn't wait for you to beat him,"- said villagers.

"I will really smash him completely!" "Hey, wait a minute. He is the

only one who helped you. He is the one who provoked you, who induced

you to help yourself."

Mango lover stopped for a second, thought a little and admitted: "Yes,

all your good intentions and compassion didn't help me. But he

expertly induced me to give my best and save myself. I should be

thankful and not angry."

So this is an instructive coaching story. The best coach makes us,

sometimes in strange ways, take initiative in our life and give our

best. If we want extraordinary results, we have to give our best. The

best coach makes you a leader, makes you responsible for your life.
