There
was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to the baker. One day the baker decided
to weigh the butter to see if he was getting a pound and he found that he was
not. This angered him and he took the farmer to court. The judge asked the
farmer if he was using any measure. The farmer replied, Your Honor, I am
primitive. I don't have a proper measure, but I do have a scale." The
judge asked, "Then how do you weigh the butter?" The farmer replied
"Your Honor, long before the baker started buying butter from me, I have
been buying a pound loaf of bread from him. Every day when the baker brings the
bread, I put it on the scale and give him the same weight in butter. If anyone
is to be blamed, it is the baker."
What
is the moral of the story?
We
get back in life what we give to others. Whenever you take an action, ask
yourself this question: Am I giving fair value for the wages or money I hope to
make? Honesty and dishonesty becomes a habit. Some people practice dishonesty
and can lie with a straight face. Others lie so much that they don't even know
what the truth is anymore. But who are they deceiving? Themselves!
Have a Happy and productive week ahead!
