Formerly upon a time there was a youthful man who worked at a plant his tutor an old technician tutored him to talk less do further and noway stop developing his chops in every aspect of the plant's operations ten times latterly the old man retired and the youthful man came a technician himself he continued to do his work with the same fidelity and industriousness as he was tutored one day he visited his tutor the old man saw that he sounded unhappy and asked what was troubling him the youthful man soughed and poured his heart out i have been following your instructions exactly all these times no matter what i work on i keep quiet and concentrate on the job i know i've done good work at the plant and i've learned all the chops that can be learned there what i don't understand is that the guys who do not have my experience or capabilities have all been promoted while i'm still making as little as i did ahead when i was your apprentice the old man asked are you positive that you have come necessary to the plant the youthful man jounced yes the old man paced back and forth to suppose after a while he turned to the youthful man must request the day off using whatever reason you like it is time for you to give yourself a break the youthful man was surprised by this advice but the more he allowed

about it the more it made sense he thanked his schoolteacher and left snappily to make a time- off request when he returned to work after his day off the director called him into the office to tell him that effects didn't go well at the plant while he was gone others encountered numerous problems that typically would be handled by him and they had no idea how to break them realizing his significance the director decided to promote him to the position of elderly technician to thank him and encourage him to keep up the good work the youthful man was thankful for his tutor's wisdom surely he allowed

this was the secret to success from that point on whenever the youthful man felt like he merited further than what he was getting he'd take a day off when he came back the coming day the situation would ameliorate to his satisfaction this pattern continued for months one day the youthful man set up that he was blocked from going into the plant important to his shock he set up out that his employment was terminated he couldn't believe it not knowing what differently to do he went back to see his tutor to try to figure out how effects had gone so wrong why did i lose my job he asked with wounded pride did i not do everything as you instructed actually you didn't because you heard only half the assignment the old man shook his head you understood right down that no bone

pays any attention to a light bulb that's always on it is only when it goes off that people suddenly take notice and realize they have been taking it for granted you were so eager to apply this understanding that you left before hearing the alternate half alternate half it began to dawn on the youthful man that maybe he made a big mistake what was the alternate half the tutor spoke sluggishly to make his point the alternate half more important than the first is the consummation that if a light bulb goes off constantly also sooner or latterly it will be replaced with one that is more dependable who wants a light bulb that no bone

can count on to give illumination you see in life in your life do you have musketeers and family members that you take for granted they're always there for you what happens if one day they are no longer there don't stay for such a day to suddenly realize how important they are give thanks moment for the good fortune of having them in your life also do not let yourself being taken for granted but at the same time do your work and don't stop everything you do just because it does not go the way you want it to go find the balance in life and life will price you with giving you the balance back this is their to do provocation stories
