Berdy and Gerd were two successful brothers. Berdy was successful because he was a smart guy. And so he worked. Smart. Gerd was successful because he was disciplined and worked hard.

Each one of them got a huge bucket filled with water. They needed the water. But there was a small crack in each bucket. So the water kept pouring out of the buckets at a steady rate. There was no way to carry away the buckets because of their big weight.

Gerd tried to keep the crack shut with his hands as long as he could. Almost 24/7. The water was running out very slowly. Still, it did not stop quitting the bucket as Gerd needed to sleep from time to time and his hands couldn’t cover the crack perfectly.

Berdy choosed another approach. At first he seemed to do nothing. He even went away from the bucket. But he was thinking. Thinking about how to shut the crack permanently. Eventually he found a solution and he then applied it. He found something that would cover the crack perfectly. And it worked. His bucket wasn’t leaking anymore.

The crack in Gerd’s bucket was fixed as well shortly after. Berdy fixed it.
