HONESTY IS STILL THE BEST POLICY

**AjayKumar.Kataram** · 22-12-06, 12:44 PM

Once a general manager wanted to test his people who had come from all
over India, about their values of life.

He announced that in their seminar folder, there is PVC pouch and in it
there is a seed. When they return, they must put it in a good soil in a
pot and look after it very well.

He would hold a competition in the next year's seminar and that the
best plants would be awarded suitably.

Everyone did what was told to him. A year passed quickly. And next year
in a big hall, there were hundreds of pots and a great variety of
plants-a great scene. Except one pot in which the soil was there and no
plant! The owner was standing quietly and seemingly ashamed of himself!

The general manager called him on the stage. He asked him what happened
and he told him the truth. He planted the seed which he was given –
and did that was to be done- but nothing happened!

The general manager declared him the winner! Everyone was shocked. It
was announced, "Gentlemen! The seeds I gave you were boiled seeds. You
planted them and nothing happened! You acted smartly and used some
other
seeds. This man was honest to his work and, therefore he did not cheat
me or himself!"
