"A father passed away and left all his land and a large fortune to his two children; among their inheritance was also a small box with the plain gold ring that had been passed down through the family for generations.
Delicately engraved on the ring whether words: "It, too, will pass."
The firstborn, who coveted the land and money, managed to persuade his younger brother to take only the box with the plain gold ring.
As the years went by, the firstborn prospered, and his fortune grew - until one day, when he lost everything, leaving him in a deep depression for many years to come.
The younger brother, on the other hand, kept the ring on his finger and decided to adopt the words that were engraved on it - "It, too, will pass."
Throughout his life, no matter the circumstances, when everything appeared bleak and miserable, when he was faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles, he would look at the ring and remind himself: "It, too, will pass."
And even when everything was perfect and wonderful, he would still remind himself: "It, too, will pass."
These four words guided him throughout his days; they gave them perspective, helping him to get the best out of the good times, and also to face the bad times untroubled."
