Food for your mind : attitude

It’s Attitude which made the difference!!! Once there was an Old man with 3 sons, he felt none of his sons are matured to be on their own legs. He owned a small land property as had became very old he want to give that to his son. But he never had a thought of splitting his property rather than he wants to give it fully to one of his son who is highly talented. So he called all his sons & gave them 10 combs each. He asked them to sell it to the Buddhist Monks in the mountain. He specified as Monks just to confuse them as actually all the monks in the mountain would be shaved headed.
But the three sons understood that his father wants them to sell those combs.
First son, He went to the mountain on the way he saw devotees coming very tiered & dull face. They refreshed themselves before starting to their home. He studied the situation & he opened a small sales point to sell the combs at the place where people used to refresh. He found very easy to sell all his combs to the devotees for Rs: 5 / comb. He returned to his Dad with total of
Second son, Went to the top of the mountain as it is a tourist place he saw many devotees taking photos on the sceneries. There was all type of shops except for combs & other make up kits .So he opened a small sales point in the top of the mountain & sold all his combs for Rs. 10/ combs. He also took additional order for another 100 combs on the next day. He returned to his Dad with total of
Third son, after his both brothers returned home with money he went to the mountain. Really it was a tough situation to sell his combs since both his brothers had used all the easy chance of selling the product. He did not give up his hope. He studied the devotee’s mindset that, they were trying to find something in the shops as a remembrance of their trip to this Mountain. So he came up with a brilliant idea of writing the golden gospel of Lord Buddha in the comb. This attracted most of the tourist and they were ready to buy that comb on any cost as a Remembrance of their trip .He sold each comb for Rs: 100 and made a grand total of
It was because of his attitude third son was able to adjusting to the situation by thinking differently. He was not only able to impress his dad but also the minds of many young aspirates
Rs 50 as the first person to sell. His dad was Happy on seeing his cleverness. Rs: 100 as the second person to sell. His dad was very happy on seeing his talent. Rs: 1000 to his dad. Since his business dragged many foreigners too he had an extra order of 1000 more combs.
