The Courage...

The prince had experienced it all at this young age. From conspiracy of the ministry in killing his father, an efficient and powerful king to people in his own kingdom having ditched him, in the name of support. The young prince was clueless. His mother, a beautiful queen, was vexed. Someone had to take charge of the kingdom. The kingdom was dwindling. The internal conflict in the kingdom had started affecting its riches. A kingdom that was once flourished and exhibited enormous potential for expansion, was diminishing. The prince was still being trained of handling weapons and wars. He was a quick learner. But, the ministry had already started plotting how to seize the control in future. The ministry was running the kingdom but internally plotting its own benefits. The treacherous treatment of the people had started defaming the king's reputation. He had been known as an empathetic and powerful king blessed with wit.

The prince now had to gear up. But, from where does he start? He was perplexed.

The queen was witty enough. She started educating her prince on ways to take charge of the inner politics. The internal conflict was bigger this time. One day, the prince stood in the balcony, observing the fountains and absorbed in his thoughts. Right then, he heard a neigh. A lound neigh again. One neigh followed by the other, as if in a desperate attempt to call the prince. The prince rushed in the direction of the noise. Two horses denied being controlled by the soldiers. They were strangely violent. All the soldiers who tried to control them got kicked off badly. The injured soldiers tried their best but failed. The situation in front of the prince was quite like the one going on inside the kingdom. Beyond control! This was the calling. He sprung into action. With the little knowledge and skills that he picked up while learning horse riding, he clasped the ropes across the horse's neck and mouth. It was a big task for him. But, after relentless efforts of an hour, bruises all over, and failures challenging him, finally, he gained control. The horses calmed down and stood still as the rope of control was in the prince's hand. He felt the pride of having gained an upper hand over a challenging situation. This spurred him with courage, the one he lacked so far, the one which will help him balance the storm reigning his kingdom. Son of an efficient king was ready. 

yes, some situations will actually put you on task and gain expertise by handling one turmoil after another. All that you need to do is to gain control, just like the prince.
