The task: Selling Combs To Monks In Temples

Only 3 applicants are willing to stay on for this Final Interview challenge:- A, B and C

The HR manager instructed: "Now I want three of you to sell these wooden combs to the monks in the temples. You only have 10 days to do it and report to me."

After 10 days, they reported.

The HR manager asked A: "How many have you sold ?"

A answered: "Only One."

HR manager asked: "How did you manage to sell one ?

A answered: "The monks in the temple scolded me when I showed them the comb but on my way downhill, I met a young monk who bought it to scratch his head due to dandruff."

The HR manager then asked B: "How many did you sell ?

B replied: "10 pieces. I went to a shrine and noticed that many devotees' hair were in a mess due to strong winds outside the shrine. The monk listened to my advice and bought 10 combs for their devotees as a mark of respect to Buddha."

Then, the HR manager asked C: "What about you ?"

C replied: "1,000 units."

The HR manager and the other 2 interviewees were astounded.

HR manager asked: "How did you do that ?"

C replied: "I went to a famous temple. After observing for a few days, I discovered that there were many tourists.

I then told the Chief Abbot there. "Sifu, those who come here are very devoted. If you could give them a gift, it will be more elating to them.

I told him that I have a bulk of combs here and asked him to put his signature on the combs as a present to these visitors.

He was very delighted and immediately ordered 1,000 pieces."

MORAL OF THE STORY:

HARVARD UNIVERSITY did a research:-

1) 85% of success is due to attitude and 15% is capability
2) Attitude is more important than intelligence, specials skills or luck..

In other words, professional knowledge only constitutes for 15% success factor while 85% is due to self-cultivation, public relations and adaptability.

The story of Selling Shoes to Africans ?

When 2 Salesmen were sent to Africa , one of them reported:

"Cannot do it. No one wears shoes over there !"

The second salesman said: "It is good to market. A lot of opportunities."

Success and Failure is dependent on how we face problems.

Remember, when the economic is good, there are people going bankrupt.

When business is bad, there are many new millionaires as well.

So apply the 85% of the right working attitude fully.

With this story, we learn to "think out of the box" and even with 15% capability, we are confident to solve problems as long as we have the RIGHT WORKING ATTITUDE, COMMITMENT, DISCIPLINED, DEDICATED and DETERMINED.

Every time when we watch MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, the ending is always POSSIBLE.

DO NOT FIND EXCUSES NOT TO DO THE POSSIBLE BUT INSTEAD,
FIND WAYS AND MEANS TO DO THE POSSIBLE.

That's the right working attitude !

Well Configured Life

Steve Jobs once said that people don't know what they until you show it to them. This is probably why we have independent gadgets now vying for integration with features of mainstream products. 

Can your tablet take good pictures; is your cellphone smart like a computer; can your MP3 player shoot videos? 

Not only are we duplicating applications, we are also diluting the individuality of a device. I'm not going to judge on the technology wastage here, instead I'll update you on concepts like the Lifebook. 

An idea that integrates a tablet, camera, phone and music player to collectively form the hardware for a laptop! They all work independently to support their unique identity and yet unify to create a magical device.

The proposed Lifebook is a laptop computer concept based on the principle of "shared hardware". Currently a lot of hardware is wasted when we use separate devices, as there is often a lot of "repeat" of data stored and features. 

For example if I have my songs on my music player, why do I have to block the same amount of storage on my laptop? Similarly, if I have a processor sitting in my tablet, why can it not also run/assist my laptop? 

If I have a fully functional camera with its own memory and image processing power, why do I need to have it repeated in my laptop?

Never Judge Anyone So Early

Never Judge Anyone So Early



A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call asap, changed his clothes & went directly to the surgery block. He found the boy's father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor. On seeing him, the dad yelled:
"Why did U take all this time to come? Don't U know that my son's life is in danger? Don't U have any sense of responsibility?"

The doctor smiled & said:
"I am sorry, I wasn't in the hospital & I came as fast as I could after receiving the call...... And now, I wish you'd calm down so that I can do my work"

"Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would U calm down? If your own son dies now what will U do??" said the father angrily

The doctor smiled again & replied: "I will say what Job said in the Holy Book "From dust we came & to dust we return, blessed be the name of God". Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go & intercede for your son, we will do our best by God's grace"

"Giving advises when we're not concerned is so easy" Murmured the father.

The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy,
"Thank goodness!, your son is saved!" And without waiting for the father's reply he carried on his way running. "If U have any question, ask the nurse!!"

"Why is he so arrogant? He couldn't wait some minutes so that I ask about my son's state" Commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.

The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: "His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was in the burial when we called him for your son's surgery. And now that he saved your son's life, he left running to finish his son's burial."

Moral-Never judge anyone..... because U never know how their life is & what they're going through"
