Tackling Difficult situations?

Few minutes back while reading the book How I Taught My Grandmother To Read by Sudha Murty i felt that i should write this down for my fellow beings living on this planet and who might turn up to this page and for my friends. This topic is related to every human being because everyone faces difficulty in life don't you?
Once respectable Sudha Murty was called upon by a college to give a lecture and after the lecure she would wait for students to ask doubts or queries. And she loved this after lecture sessions as she loved the students. One among the many asked her a difficult one for which she was blank for some seconds.

The question was "When you are faced with difficulty how would you solve it? Do you avoid it?". In a fraction of a second she replied the answer with help of a story from Ramayana. Children, in answer to this question, I will tell you a story. It is a story from the Ramayana. In the battlefield at Lanka, during the battle between Rama, Lakshmana and Ravana, Lakshmana became unconscious. He needed the medicine plant Sanjeevani to revive. Sanjeevani was only available in the Dhrona mountains. These mountains were huge and far away. The only person who could do this job was Hanumana. Hanumana flew to Dhrona mountains, but alas, he was unable to recognise which was the Sanjeevani plant. Time was running short. The only way out was to take the entire mountain along with the plants to Rama. The mountain was huge, how could he lift it? But Hanumana had a gift to increase his body size. He became higher than the mountain, till it was like a pebble for him. Then he put the mountain on his palm and flew back to Lanka. The rest of the story all of you know."

The girl was impatient and restless.
She said, "I asked you a different question but you told me an old story which everyone knows."

She smiled at her and said that she had not completed the answer. "When we come across difficulties, you have to grow bigger than the problem. You have that capacity within you, but you are not aware of it. If you become bigger, difficulties will look smaller than you, and you can solve them easily. If you become smaller than the difficulties, they will look like mountains and crush you. This is the theory I have followed in life."

So guys this is my first lesson of life for you. Thanks for readin it. If you do like it please comment on it. I would like you to read the whole book which is full of short touching stories.
