This is gonna be a short post. Just a story to share with you guys.
What I learnt on OBS. I'll update about OBS later. Try figuring out the message.
There was once this famous carpenter. His name was Subramaniam.
His work was always good, and he never disappoints his boss, Muthu. His work was always
first-class and always meet the deadline. But, there was a problem. He was growing old.
His 60, and wants to spent time with his wife, children and grandchildren. So, one day,
he went up to his boss and said,
" Sorry boss, I want to retire."
" But why? Your work have been giving me profits, and your pay is the same. "
" I want to spent my time with my family, boss. "
" Okay then. But first, I have one last assignment for you. "
" How long will it be? "
" About 1 month. Do a good job on your last assignment. "
Subramaniam gave it a thought. If he complete the house, he retires. If he do
not complete the house, he also will retire. After some thoughts, he gave the answer.
" Yes boss. I'll do it. "
" Good. Here is what I want you to do. You can have any kind of wood you want
from this warehouse. If its not enough, I'll buy you more. I give you this land,
do the best house you can do for me. "
So Subramaniam started to work. Nail here, nail there. Fix here, fix there.
One month later, it was done. Muthu met up with him.
" Boss, here is the key to your new house. "
" Thank you. "
Muthu went in the house. The door was too small for him. So Muthu had to
bent down to go in the house. When he's inside, the window was slunted to the side.
The furniture was not fully done. The toilet can only be flushed once and
cannot be used again. Muthu was shocked.
He went back out and passed the key to Subaramaniam.
" You can take the key. "
" Why boss? "
" Actually, this land was my gift as a retirement present to you. "
Subramaniam was shocked. He couldn't believe he made the house like that.
He regreted.
