Honesty
There was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to a baker.
One
day the baker decided to weigh the butter to see if he was getting the right
amount, which he wasn’t.
Angry
about this, he took the farmer to court.
The
judge asked the farmer if he was using any measure to weigh the butter.
The
farmer replied, “Your Honour, I am primitive. I don’t have a proper measure,
but I do have a scale.”
The
judge asked, “Then how do you weigh the butter?”
The
farmer replied, “Your Honour, long before the baker started buying butter from me,
I have been buying a pound loaf of bread from him. Every day when the baker brings
the bread, I put it on the scale and give him the same weight in butter. If anyone
is to be blamed, it is the baker.”
In
life, you get what you give.
It
is important to live life with honour.
The
success of one’s life is not measured in terms of wealth or positions that one
acquires.
Instead,
one’s life is measured in terms of convictions by which he/she has lived.
