A boy often sat under a mango tree in his yard. He noticed something curious: as the tree grew taller and bore more fruit, its branches no longer reached upward. They bent lower, almost bowing to the earth.
Curious, he pointed this out to his father. His father smiled and said, “The heavier the fruit, the lower the branch bends. That is the way of wisdom too—the more knowledge, experience, wealth you gain, the more humble you become.”
Years later, as the boy stepped into adulthood and success followed him, his father’s words grew louder in his mind. The more he achieved, the clearer he saw it—success was never a crown to wear, but a call to bow a little lower, like the mango tree.
