Very important lesson.
One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus, and
drove off along the route. No problems for the first few stops - a few
people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well.
At the next stop, however, a big hulk like Pathan got in. Six feet four
inch , built like a wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground. He glared at
the conductor and said, "Pathan doesn't pay!" and sat down at the back.
Conductor didn't argue with Pathan, but he wasn't happy about it. The next
day the same thing happened, Pathan got on again, made a show of refusing
to pay, and sat down.
And the next day, and the next..This grated on the bus driver, who started
losing sleep over the way Pathan was taking advantage of poor conductor.
Finally he could stand it no longer and to teach lesson signed up for body
building courses, karate, judo, and all that good stuff. By the end of the
summer, he had become quite strong; what's more, he felt really good about
himself.
So, on the next Monday, when Pathan once again got on the bus and said,
"Pathan doesn't pay!"The driver stood up, glared back at Pathan, and
screamed, "And why not?" With a surprised look on his face, Pathan replied,
"Pathan has a bus pass”
Management Lesson: Be sure there is a problem in the first place before
working hard to solve one.
