Long long time ago, there was a great kingdom ....... The king's name is still unknown, but the story really created a manager's attitude in myself. So, the story begin like this.
their was a great king and his gardener. The gardener was working for the king for almost 30 years. One day, the king have appointed a manager to take care for his kingdom. The news reached to the Gardner and he got angry on the king and visited the king to have a question about his devotion to the kingdom.
The moment he reached the king, he started quietening about his quality of work and asked that why he was appointed as the manager of the kingdom.
The king was calm and listened the gardener
.
Gardner: Sir, I have been serving you for almost 30 years and why a person who is half in the age of mine, he got the opportunity and i had not?
King replied very politely and in a calm manner: Okay, Now I will give you a task to fulfill and if you do the task proprly then you will get the position of the manager of kingdom.
Gardner: Sir, I'm ready.

Manager said : Sure sir, it will be my honor to work on this and left. After 30 minutes, the manager came bback and said,
