In Delhi,
there was a Samosa vendor whose shop is in front of a MNC. As he is expert in
preparing Samosa, most of the company employees visits his shop on a regular
basis.
One day, a
manager came for 2 samosas. While eating them, he complemented the taste of
samosa and the way he maintains his hotel. The conversation went for quite some
time.
The manager asked
a question, “You have good management skills. You are just wasting your talent
and skill by maintaining this hotel. Think once, if you were started your
career like me in a big company, you might become manager like me”.
The man
smiled and said, “Sir, I think my work is far better than your work in terms of
quality, maintenance and growth. Do you know why? 10 years back we both started
our career. You started your career with 10 times what I was earning, but now I
am earning more than what you are getting paid”.
The manager
was puzzled and tried to counter attack by saying, “But in society I have good
respect than you. My children future is safer than yours”.
The man
again smiled and said, “Sir, please listen carefully. We both toiled hard and
developed our personal careers. But one day my son will take over my business
which I successfully led for all these days. He doesn’t need to start from 0. But
in your case, the benefits of your hard work will enjoy by your boss kids, not
by your kids. You suffered 10 years to sustain and your son will also go
through the same process. Now please tell me who is wasting the talent and
time.”
Manger nodded
his head positively and gave Rs.50 for Samosas and left.
