Once a man saw three masons along with some labourers constructing a temple. He observed the masons for 3 days and found that though the three of them were doing the same kind of work,there was a mark difference in their approach to their job.
He saw the first mason reported for his work late,did his work half heartedly and sluggishly, enjoyed the longer respite,frequently checked the time on his wrist watch and left the work before time.
The second mason was very punctual in arriving and leaving,and did his work methodically. The third mason, however would come before time,take little rest in the interval and often worked overtime
