Living to our potential requires us to keep learning and expanding. We should all try to remember this advice. “This is you,” the master replied, “How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup”. The professor watched the overflowing cup until he could no longer restrain himself and blurted out, “It’s full! No more will go in!”. The master poured the visitor’s cup to the brim and then kept pouring. Whilst noticing this, the Zen master started to serve tea. He followed each story that the Zen master told him with a story of his own, instead of really listening. He interrupted the Zen master continually. This attitude got Mowgli into a heap of trouble luckily Bagheera was there to bail him out.Ī professor went to learn from a wise Zen master, but it quickly became obvious to the Zen master that the professor was more interested in showing off his own knowledge than in learning. He wanted to continue to live in the jungle and he ignored Bagheera’s advice. Mowgli being young and naive was unwilling to listen. Here are 7 life lessons we can all learn from The Jungle Book.īagheera the panther tried to teach Mowgli about the dangers of the jungle. I was surprised to notice many valuable lessons embedded into the story that I wish I knew earlier. I remember watching this as a child a couple of times (okay maybe a couple of hundred times!) and absolutely loving it, so I thought I’d watch it again as an adult just for fun. In honor of Rudyard Kipling’s story The Jungle Book recently hitting movie theatres across the globe I thought I’d take a look back at the 1967 Walt Disney classic that warmed the hearts of many of us growing up.
Have you ever re-watched a children’s movie and got more out of it as an adult than you previously did as a child?
