Get Motivated

Once live a construction labor who spent almost his life on constructing buildings after buildings.

He started his career there at a very tender age of 10 and carried on till he thought he should hang on his boots at the age of 65.

His skills, of course, all gained by practical experience, were tremendous that at times, even the Engineers would consult him during projects. He commanded respect from every corner of the working environment.

However, one thing nagged him badly that he was not paid well or he was not paid as compared to the novice engineers recruited by the construction company. In fact, the engineers were raw and this man was giving them the real tips! Our friend thought that he deserved more and this very thought threw all spokes on his job!

He pondered and pondered and decided that he would call quits. Enough is enough, i cant bear it any more and i am leaving, he thought. He went to the director and expressed his decision. The Director cooly replied, "Ok, i dont want to lose to you but you deserve this. all i request you to build a new house by yourself and then you can leave!"

The man obliged. He started constructing the new house by himself. No engineers supported him. However, the man had problems and also he was not motivated fully. His prime aim was to leave the organization and he did not heed much interest in the new project. He hurriedly finished the project and met the director.

The director said, "Thats fine! you finished in record time. Now take this key! this house is all yours!"

Moral: "Dont get demotivated while on the job. you may not know what will happen!"
