A successful man was travelling for business to the capital.
At some point he was not sure if the way he took was right, so he stopped in a small village to ask for directions. The only person he saw was a welder, busy doing his work, so he went to his workshop.
The elegant man loudly asked the worker bent over his machine: “Hey you! Do you know the way to the capital?” But no answer from the welder..
Than again: “Do you hear me? I’m talking to you!”
He was ready to leave in anger when the worker turned off his fire and slowly turned his head up: “Now I can talk to you.”
“The successful man nervously said: “I need to get to the capital, is it far from here?”
While putting his tools on a dusty, grey table he answered quietly: “It seems like you lost your path. I can only tell you what I do here.”
“What? Are you joking?” The traveller exclaimed out of his red face.
“I work with the fire, it took me many years to master my techniques. At the beginning I was concentrating only on welding, but now I am one body with fire and metal and I perceive the final piece so light and balanced before I even start to work on it. I’ve learnt how to fuse metals without getting burnt. I found my way.”
Than he added: “The capital is that way north.”
The businessman didn’t say anything else, he turned back and went straight home to get his life in order.
