Two brothers worked together on the family farm. One was married and had a large family. The other was single. At the day's end, the brothers shared everything equally, produce and profit.

Then one day the single brother said to himself, "It's not right that we should share equally the produce and the profit. I'm alone and my needs are simple." So each night he took a sack of grain from his bin and crept across the field between their houses, dumping it into his brother's bin.

Meanwhile, the married brother said to himself, "Its not right that we should share the produce and the profit equally.

After all, I'm married and I have my wife and my children to look after me in years to come. My brother has no one, and no one to take care of his future." So each night, he took a sack of grain and dumped it into his single brother's bin.  

Both men were puzzled for years because their supply of grain never dwindled. Then one dark night the two brothers bumped into each other. Slowly it dawned on them what was happening. They dropped their sacks and embraced one another.

MORAL - Take care of others and they will take care of you......

Of course, the principle is equally applicable to ensure higher productivity wherever team work is involved.... but inter personal skill is utmost desirable while selecting your counterpart n team mates....

very nice moral. Good to think about the well being of others and not to be selfish.

HI ALL,
Take care of others but remember the more you take care of the other person. The more complicated situation you will face, once you start taking care of the other person, the other person can take that for granted and will always be depended on you. So make sure that this doesn't happen.

And yes once you start taking care of others they will in turn take care of you.

Same thing applies to the organisation. Take care of your employees and the employees will take care of your organisation, A great way to teach us how to work together.

Thank You Anurag
