Unlocking the Secret to Success: Who’s the One Bound to Succeed?

Once upon a time, there was a king who had no children of his own. He decided to hold a contest to find the most worthy person to be his heir– someone who was bound to succeed him as king.

The contest was open to all eligible candidates in the kingdom. The king had a crossword puzzle in which the final clue read: “One who’s bound to succeed?”

Many people tried to solve the puzzle, but no one could find the answer. It seemed like an unsolvable riddle. One day, a young boy came forward and confidently wrote down the answer to the clue as “HEIR.”

The king was surprised but impressed by the boy’s quick wit and correct answer. He knew immediately that this boy was indeed bound to succeed him as king and declared him the winner of the contest. The boy became the king’s protege and received the best education and training to become a successful ruler.

Years later, the king passed away peacefully and the boy, now a young man, succeeded him to the throne. He was indeed the one who was bound to succeed, just as the crossword puzzle had predicted.
