True Meaning of Carelessness

JRD Tata, the well known Industrialist from India, had a friend who used to say that he misplaces and loses his pen very often.


He would use only very cheap pens, to obviate the need of worrying about losing them.


JRD suggested to him to buy the costliest pen he could afford, and then see what happens.


He did that and purchased a 22 carat gold Cross pen.


After nearly six months, JRD met him and asked him if he continued to misplace his pen.


His friend replied in negative and stated that he was very careful about his costly pen, and , surprised on how how he had changed!


JRD explained to him : It is the value of the pen to you that made the difference.



Bottomline


This is what happens in our life. We are careful with things which we value most.



* If we value our health, we will be careful about what and how we eat;


* if we value our friends, we will treat them with respect;


* if we value money, we will be careful while spending;


* if we value our time, we will not waste it.


*if we value relationships, we will not break it.


Carefulness is a basic trait all of us have, and we all we know when to be careful!


Carelessness only shows what we don’t value……


wishing all of you : Have a wonderful and careful life.

I am reminded of another story of ball pens!

One gentleman, who visits the post office often, used to lend his ball pen to others and they never used to return it to him!

Being forgetful, he will leave the post office and later on notice that he lost his pen. His friend suggested a way to remember

that he lends his pen to some other person, by keeping the cover of the pen with him.

After a few weeks they met again. His friend asked him whether he gets back his pens by following his advice and he retorted,

'Now I have a dozen ball pen covers with me!!' :dizzy:
