I bought a scooter few years back. Owing to my non adventrous nature and being somebody who had not even tried hands on a bicycle, I was dead scared to ride it. Still I set this goal to learn it soon but my nervousness was not letting me do that.
I started riding within my hostel, learned to balance and made a fair progress slowly. Still I was scared of driving on the main road and was not able to overcome this fear.
Few days later, I happened to talk about this with one of the attendants in our lab. This person himself did not know driving but made a pretty simple statement "Why are you afraid, You should be worried when you are walking. But when you are on a vehicle, you can go anywhere you want. The road is yours". These words instilled a new confidence in me. And well!!! ....I started to ride on the highway!
This is excatly what I call is "folk wisdom"
A single conversation with a wise man is better than ten years of study. ~Chinese Proverb
