A young boy, full of ambition, made a resolution listing everything he desired in life—a luxurious car, a private airplane, a grand mansion, a beautiful wife, and a massive bank balance. Excitedly, he took his list to his guru, expecting praise for his grand vision. However, the guru simply smiled, shook his head, and rejected the resolution. With a gentle laugh, he pointed out what the boy had overlooked and said, "You forgot to include peace of mind."

The lesson was clear—material wealth and external success mean little without inner peace and true contentment.
