Answer:

What is the best story you have ever heard?

She had to tolerate these things till yesterday since she was with them in the same house.

But today, however, she had an invitation for a job interview.

“As soon as I get the job, I should leave this town. There won’t be any nagging from my father” were her thoughts.

As she was about to leave for the interview, the father advised:

“Answer the questions put to you without any hesitation. Even if you don’t know the answer, mention that confidently.” He gave her more money than she actually needed to attend the interview.

The daughter arrived at the interview center. She noticed that there were no security guards at the gate. Even though the door was open, the latch was protruding out probably hitting the people entering through the door. She put the latch back properly, closed the door and entered the office.

On both sides of the pathway she could see beautiful flower plants. The gardener had kept the water running in the hose-pipe and was not to be seen anywhere. The water was overflowing on the pathway. She lifted the hosepipe and placed it near one of the plants and went further.

There was no one in the reception area. However, there was a notice saying that the interview was on the first floor. She slowly climbed the stairs.

The light that was switched on last night was still burning at 10 am in the morning. She remembered her father’s admonition, “Why are you leaving the room without switching off the light?” and thought she could still hear that now. Even though she felt irritated by that thought, she sought the switch and switched off the light.

Upstairs in a large hall she could see many aspirants sitting waiting for their turn. She looked at the number of people and wondered if she had any chance of getting the job.

She entered the hall with some trepidation and stepped on the “Welcome” mat placed near the door. She noticed that the mat was upside down. She straightened out the mat with some irritation. Habits die hard.

She saw that in a few rows in the front there were many people waiting for their turn, whereas the back rows were empty, but a number of fans were running over those rows of seats.

She heard his father’s voice again, “Why are the fans running in the room where there is no one?” she switched off the fans that were not needed and sat at one of the empty chairs.

She could see many men & women entering the interview room and immediately leave from another door. There was thus no way anyone could guess what was being asked in the interview.

When it was her turn, she went and stood before the interviewer with some trepidation and concern.

The officer took the certificates from her and without looking at them asked, “When can you start work?”

She thought ,”is this a trick question being asked in the interview, or is this a signal that I have been offered the job?” she was confused.

“What are you thinking?” asked the boss. “We didn’t ask anyone any question here. By asking a few questions we won’t be able to assess the skills of anyone. So our test was to assess the attitude of the person. We kept certain tests based on the behaviour of the candidates and we observed everyone through CCTV. No one who came today did anything to set right the latch at the door, the hose pipe, the welcome mat, the uselessly running fans or lights. You were the only one who did that. That’s why we have decided to select you for the job”, said the boss.

She always used to get irritated at his father’s discipline and demonstrations. Now she realized that it is only the discipline that has got her this job. Her irritation and anger at her father vanished completely.

She decided that she would bring her father too to his workplace and left for home happily.

Whatever our father tells us is only for our good aimed at giving us a bright future !!

A rock doesn’t become a beautiful sculpture if it resists the pain of the chisel chipping it away.

For us to become a beautiful sculpture and a human being we need to accept admonitions that chisel out the bad habits and behaviour from ourselves. That is what our father does when he disciplines us.

The mother lifts the child up on her waist to feed her, to cuddle her, and to put her to sleep. But the father is not like that. He lifts the child up on his shoulders to make her see the world that he couldn’t see.

We can realize the pain the mother undergoes by listening to her; but the father’s pain can be realized only when others tell us about it.

Our father is our Teacher when we are five years old; a terrible villain when we are about twenty, and a guidepost as long as he lives...

Mothers can go to her daughter’s or son’s home when she's old; but the father doesn’t know how to do that...

There is no use in hurting our parents when they are alive and remembering about them when they have passed away. Treat them well always. This is an example of Mentorship
