"Wrapped in a classic, buddhist tale, a deep life lesson emerges about locus of control and view of life. What is the difference between the optimist, the pessimist and the person who looks at life in a way to find out what he can do to make things better. This is one of the stories we often use to coach gifted students who show learned helplesness or perfectionism to put them on a more constructive path.
