There is an other story of a similar kind but different message i came across in a story book for children.

A man wanted to dig for water. He dug very deep for a few days and then gave up thinking there is no water there.

He went to an other location and dug there, found no water and moved on again, and yet again and again to other locations.

A monk passed by. He asked the man what he was doing. The man replied he was digging for water in so many places for more than two years but has not yet found water.

The monk replied "You wasted your time and energy by digging in different areas for limited periods of time. If you have had stayed at one location and dug at the same place for all this time, you would have surely found water".

For some researching to find fruit is the goal. For some just the pursuit is the goal.

Some seek a destination in life. For some, the journey of life itself is the destination.

Its all about just the love of learning.
