A Pound Of Butter

Readings   432 views Add comments

There was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to the baker. One day the
baker decided to weigh the butter to see if he was getting a pound and he
found that he was not. This angered him and he took the farmer to court.

The judge asked the farmer if he was using any measure. The farmer replied,
amour Honor, 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 Honor, 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.

What is the moral of the story We get back in life what we give to others.
Whenever you take an action, ask yourself this question Am I giving fair
value for the wages or money I hope to make

Honesty and dishonesty become a habit. Some people practice dishonesty and
can lie with a straight face. Others lie so much that they don’t even know
what the truth is anymore. But who are they deceiving Themselves — more
than anyone else.

Honesty can be put across gently. Some people take pride in being brutally
honest. It seems they are getting a bigger kick out of the brutality than
the honesty. Choice of words and tact are important.
