$BNB In a faraway village, there lived a wise man named Khalid. Khalid was known for his wisdom and deep silence, as he would advise people without speaking much. He had a small shop where he sold firewood and coal, and one day an enthusiastic young man came to him wanting to become successful and rich quickly.

The young man said to Khalid: "I want to be like the rich people in the city, own everything and live a comfortable life. How can I achieve that?"

Khalid smiled and gave him a bag full of pebbles and said to him: "Take this bag and go to the mountain, collect firewood while carrying the pebbles in the bag. But there is a condition, whenever you find a large and high-quality piece of firewood, you must get rid of some pebbles."

The young man was surprised, but he decided to trust Khalid's wisdom. He climbed the mountain and started collecting firewood. At first, he carried pebbles and found small pieces of firewood, but with time he realized that the bag was weighing him down and making him slow. The more pebbles he got rid of, the better his ability to collect firewood became. By the end of the day, he had a lot of good firewood and a light bag.

The young man turned to Khaled and said, "Now I understand, you were symbolizing that the more I get rid of the extra burdens and unnecessary worries, the closer I get to my goal. Success is not just about making money, but getting rid of what gets in the way."

Khaled smiled again and said to him, "True wisdom is not in what you collect, but in what you give away."
