One day the donkey said to the tiger:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe grass is blue.\u201d<\/p>\n
The tiger disagreed:<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, the grass is green.\u201d<\/p>\n
A dispute then broke out between the two, and finally they decided to ask the lion \u2013 the king of the jungle \u2013 for a judgment.<\/p>\n
The donkey called out loudly:<\/p>\n
\u201cMajesty, isn\u2019t it true that the grass is blue?\u201d<\/p>\n
The lion answered calmly:<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you believe it is so, then the grass is blue.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then the donkey continued:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe tiger contradicts me, he opposes me and annoys me. Please punish him!\u201d<\/p>\n
The lion said:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe tiger shall be punished with five years of silence.\u201d<\/p>\n
The tiger accepted the punishment, but before he left, he asked the lion:<\/p>\n
\u201cMajesty, why do you punish me? After all, the grass is green.\u201d<\/p>\n
The lion nodded and replied:<\/p>\n
\u201cIndeed, the grass is green.\u201d<\/p>\n
Confused, the tiger asked:<\/p>\n
\u201cThen why this punishment?\u201d<\/p>\n
Then the lion said:<\/p>\n
\u201cYour punishment has nothing to do with the truth about the grass \u2013 whether it is green or blue. It is for you because it is foolish that a clever being like you wastes his time arguing with a donkey. Even worse: that you then bother me with such a pointless question.\u201d<\/p>\n
And the lion concluded:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe greatest waste of time is arguing with fools or fanatics who do not care about truth or reality, but only seek the victory of their beliefs and illusions.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2e3b<\/p>\n The lesson from the story<\/strong><\/p>\n There are people who \u2013 no matter how much evidence you show them \u2013 cannot or will not understand. Some are blinded by pride, hatred, or bitterness. Their only goal is to be right, even if they are wrong.<\/p>\n A basic principle of success is therefore: Remain willing to learn and teachable.<\/strong><\/p>\n The most successful people always keep their hearts and minds open to new insights \u2013 but only to those who are ahead of them on their path and from whom they can actually learn.<\/p>\n Avoid falling into the trap of arguing with people who only aim to deliberately misunderstand you.<\/p>\n Recognize when you are dealing with such people \u2013 and, if necessary, draw your consequences by reconsidering your circle.<\/p>\n One day the donkey said to the tiger: \u201cThe grass is blue.\u201d The tiger disagreed: \u201cNo, the grass is green.\u201d A dispute then broke out between the two, and finally they decided to ask the lion \u2013 the king of the jungle \u2013 for a judgment.
