Only One String

A famous violist in the 19th century, named Niccolo Paganini, played a concert in a room fulled with his fans. At that time he played the violin with  full orchestra accompaniment.

Suddenly one of his violin strings broken off, then a cold sweat began to wet his forehead, but he continued to play the song. Very surprising moment, then the others strings was broken off one by one until only one string only. Paganini still continued to play the violin. When the audiences realized that Paganini only has one string and he kept playing, they shouted, "Great, great."

Paganini then told them to sit down after the applause and cheers. The audiences realized that he could not possibly play again with a string. Paganini salute to the audience and give cues to the orchestra conductor to resume the final part of the song. With sparkling eyes, he shouted, "Paganini with the one string!" He then put the violin on his chin and began continue the final part of the song so beautifully.

It is true that sometimes our live are filled with problems, fears, disappointments and a lot of things are not good. To be honest, we often devote too much time concentrating on our broken string and everything that we feel can not be changed.

Do we still think of strings that broke up in our lives? Is the tone of last string not beautiful anymore?


If so, do not look back, keep going and play the only string. Nicely play the one string.
