In Greek mythology, a brilliant inventor, Daedalus and his son Icarus were imprisoned on an island. Daedalus built wings using feathers and wax. As they set out to fly, Daedalus warned Icarus to follow his path and not to fly too close to the sun, as the heat would melt the wax.
However, Icarus, filled with excitement and a sense of invincibility, ignored his father's warnings and soared higher and higher. His wings melted and he plummeted down. Daedalus, devastated by his son's death, continued to fly, using his grief as motivation to reach safety.
Icarus' story serves as a warning about the dangers of unchecked ambition and the importance of balancing boldness with caution. Daedalus' ability to cope with his son's death and continue on his journey demonstrates the importance of resilience in the face of adversity.
Being adventurous makes one step out of limiting beliefs but prudence calls for heeding obvious caution. And when on the right track, we must not allow any setback to set us back from what we set out to do. We must maintain clarity and consistency in our actions.
Resilience is consistent clarity of action
Boldness must be balanced with caution!
