Take A Right Path

Once upon a time, a father called his two sons and gave them a task to do. He also gave them some money and asked them to see who would learn the task quickly. They thought they would see which one of them would choose the right way to do the work.

So, both sons started to do the task their father had given them.

The first son thought that he will win his father’s praise by finishing the work quickly. So, he delegated the task to someone else and paid him to complete the job quickly. After the task was completed, he informed his father about it promptly.

The second son, however, came home much later and told his father that the task was completed. When his father asked him the reason for the delay, he said that he wasn’t initially assigned to do the work. So, he first learned how to do the task and then did it himself. This is why it took him so much time. He said that he felt this was the right approach and that he has now learned to do the job well. He has also learned to correct all his mistakes.

The father told the first son that he should have completed the work. So, I learned and did it, and now I can do it anytime. Then the father told the son that he had not listened to him carefully. He had said to learn and do the work.

The father told both of his sons that in life, they will always have two paths, and every time they will have to choose the right path themselves.
