KUTTY STORY 10


Put forth your best efforts in each of your work.
Once there was an elderly carpenter who worked for a million worth construction company. The carpenter had been working with the company for the past 40 years and he was an asset to them. One day, the carpenter let the boss know that he was looking to retiring, as he was getting old for the job. 
The owner, had always been very impressed by the carpenter's work and decided to part him with him a nice farewell. 
The boss then asked the carpenter to help him finish off a last project which estimated to around 2 months of work. The carpenter gave it a thought and agreed to his boss. 
The carpenter started his work but, this time, his work was not as perfect as is used to be. The carpenter was already in a mindset to retire and so failed to put forth his best efforts. The carpenter somehow finally finished the work assigned to him. 
He was very eager to meet his boss, to handover his assignment and get relieved from all his duties. 
When the boss arrived, the carpenter received him and opened the car door for him. The boss stepped out and even before going to the office, commended and thanked the carpenter and handed over to him a set of keys - The keys of the house the carpenter worked as his last project.
The boss gifted the house to the carpenter, as he was one the best among his employees and for his long tenure with the company. 
The carpenter was in total despair and he regretted the way he handled his work. The carpenter, now himself, evaluated the last work as his worst work. He realised had he put his best efforts and skills at work, he would have had an amazing house, with pride,  he could have lived the rest of his life with his family. But for now, he can only regret!!

Never leave any stone unturned in your work. Leave behind your signature in your style of work for others to see.

The life each wished for Once there lived two farmers in a village. The farmers were friends and they worked really hard. They, more or less had the same share of land in the village and eventually with time, both of them died in the same period.  After their death both the farmers were in their after life. God asked both the farmers the same question. The first farmer was asked: how was his life and how could have God made it better for him. The farmer was so annoyed and disgraced with all the hardship he had in his life. The farmer said he had no luxury, he and his family barely had anything to enjoy. They struggled to manage each day. God kept quiet and asked the farmer what he wanted to become in his next life. The farmer wished to be someone who is unquestioned and who people gave money to. God blessed him and granted his desire.  God approached the other farmer with the same question. The farmer said he was really glad with the life God had given him. The farmer thanked ...

The other person next to him was a well- built gentleman. Paras was keenly observed by his co-passenger. He was killing time by skimming through some contents on his laptop. The other gentleman enquired if Paras was an IT professional, to which he accepted. The other person praised Paras for being an IT professional for being part of great revenue generation for the country. Paras felt proud about his profession but still remained guarded. The other gentleman asked some  more questions about Paras' profession.

The other gentleman commented  “now things would be more easy for you.”  Paras said  “it is not like that. Meeting the deadlines, getting the work done withi...
