A Beautiful Story on Recession

This Story is about a man who once upon a time was selling vadapav

 by the roadside.  He was illiterate, so he never read newspapers.  

He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the radio. His eyes 

were weak, so he never watched television.  

But enthusiastically, he sold lots of vadapav. 
He was smart enough to offer some attractive

schemes to increase his sales. His sales and profit went up. He ordered

more a more raw material and buns and use to sale more.  He recruited

few more supporting staff to serve more customers.  He started offering

home deliveries. Eventually he got himself a bigger and better store. 

As his business was growing, the son, who had recently graduated from 

College, joined his father. Then something strange happened. 

The son asked, "Dad, aren't you aware of the great recession that is 

coming our way?" The father replied, "No, but tell me about it." 

The son said, "The international situation is terrible. The domestic 

situation is even worse. We should be prepared for the coming bad times."

The man thought that since his son had been to college, read the papers, 

listened to the radio and watched TV.

He ought to know and his advice should not be taken lightly. So the 

next day onwards, the father cut down the his raw material order and buns, 

took down the colourful signboard, removed all the special schemes he was

offering to the customers and was no longer as enthusiastic. 

He reduced his staff strength by giving layoffs. Very soon, fewer 

and fewer people bothered to stop at his vadapav shop. And his sales 

started coming down rapidly, same is the profit.

The father said to his son, "Son, you were right". "We are in the middle

of a recession and crisis. I am glad you warned me ahead of time."

Moral of the Story:  

It's all in your Mind And we actually Fuel this recession 

much more than we think we do

What can we take away from this story??

1. How many times we confuse intelligence with good judgment?

2. Choose your advisors carefully but use your own judgment

A Wonderful Inspiring Tomato Story

A jobless man applied for the position of 'office boy' 

at a very big firm. The HR manager interviewed him, 

then a test: clean the floor. "You are hired" he said, 

give me your email address, and I will send you the 

application to fill, as well as when you will start. 

The man replied "I don't have a computer, neither 

an email". I am sorry, said the HR manager, if you don't 

have an email that means you do not exist. And who 

doesn't exist, cannot have the job. The man left with 

no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only 

$10 US in his pocket.

He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10 KG 

Tomato crate. He then sold the Tomatoes in a door to door round. 

In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. 

He repeated the operation 3 times, and returned home with 

$60 US. The man realized that he can survive by this way, 

and started to go everyday earlier, and return late. Thus, 

his money doubles or triples every day. Shortly later, 

he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own 

fleet of delivery vehicles.

5 years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers 

in the US. He started to plan his family's future, and decided 

to have a life insurance.

He called an insurance broker, and chooses a protection plan. 

When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him 

his email. The man replied: 'I don't have an email'. 

The broker replied curiously, you don't have an email, and yet 

have succeeded to build an empire. Do you imagine 

what you could have been if you had an email?

The man thought for a while, and replied: an office boy!

The moral of this story:

1: Internet is not the solution to your life.

2: If you don't have internet and you work hard you can be a millionaire.

3: This man's biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.

Inspiring Story-Fruits of labour..

There once lived a rich businessman who had a lazy and 

fun loving son. The businessman wanted his son to be 

hard-working and responsible. He wanted him to realize 

the value of labour. One day he summoned his son and said: 

"Today, I want you to go out and earn something, failing 

which you won't have your meals tonight."

The boy was callous and not used to any kind of work. 

This demand by his father scared him and he went crying 

straight to his mother. Her heart melted at the sight of 

tears in her son's eyes. She grew restless. In a bid to help him 

she gave him a gold coin. In the evening when the father 

asked his son what he had earned, the son promptly presented 

him the gold coin. The father then asked him to throw it into 

a well. The son did as he was told.

The father was a man of wisdom and experience and guessed 

that the source of the gold coin was the boy's mother. The next

 day he sent his wife to her parent's town and asked his son to go 

and earn something with the threat of being denied the night meals 

if he failed. This time he went crying to his sister who sympathized 

with him and gave him a rupee coin out of her own savings. 


When his father asked him what he had earned the boy tossed 
the rupee coin  at him. The father again asked him to throw 
it in a well. The son did it quite readily. Again the father's wisdom 
told him that the rupee coin was not earned by his son. 
He then sent his daughter to her in-laws' house. He again asked 
his son to go out and earn with the threat that he shall not 
have anything for dinner that night.

This time since there was no one to help him out; the son was forced 

to go to the market in search of work. One of the shopkeepers there 

told him that he would pay him two rupees if he carried his trunk to 

his house. 


The rich man's son could not refuse and was drenched 

in sweat by the time he finished the job. His feet were trembling and 

his neck and back were aching. There were rashes on his back. 

As he returned home and produced the two rupee note before his 

father and was asked to throw it into the well, the horrified son 

almost cried out. He could not imagine throwing his hard-earned money 

like this. He said amid sobbing: "Father! My entire body is aching. 

My back has rashes and you are asking me to throw the money into the well."

At this the businessman smiled. He told him that one feels the pain only 

when the fruits of hard labour are wasted. On earlier two occasions 

he was helped by his mother and sister and therefore had no pain 

in throwing the coins into the well. 


The son had now realized the  value of hard work. 
He vowed never to be lazy and safe keep 

the father's wealth. The father handed over the keys of his shop 

to the son and promised to guide him through the rest of the life.

Moral of the Story: 


Some of the life's best lessons come from 

the hardest situations.
