May peace be upon you.
It has been quite sometime since I wrote in my blog. Just that so many things happened at almost the same time. My son is sitting for his big exam and my two little kittens died. It is really hard to deal with any death. But one kitten did survive and we're looking after him like a prince. There is always hope.
Anyway, I just want to share a story with you. Not about kittens though...
Maybe we can learn something from the story.
A CEO from a large company visited one of his of branch office. He entered the office and started to check on the progress of the workers one by one. He saw everyone was working really hard except for one. This particular worker was sitting behind his desk and not doing anything except whistling.
He went to the worker and angrily asked why he was no working like the rest. The worker stared at him and didn't say anything. But still the worker did not start to do any work.
This made the CEO furious. He said, "How much are you being paid?"
The worker looked startled but answered,"$1 000 sir."
"You're fired! We do not have a place for a loser like you." shouted the CEO.The CEO then continued to call the accounts officer to prepare a check for $4 000 for 4 months wages to be paid to the worker.
The worker looked confused but accepted the payment. When he walked out the door, to the CEO amazement he started to whistle happily again. Then the CEO felt something was just not right.
"Who is that?" he finally asked.
"He is the dispatch rider, sir. He came to send some documents."
