Ma one of frienzs story share with me ..Once upon a time, there was
a software engineer who
used to develop programs on
his Pentium machine, sitting
under a tree on the banks of
a river. He used to earn his
bread by selling those
programs in the Sunday
market. One day, while he
was working, his machine
tumbled off the table and fell
in the river. Encouraged by
the Panchatantra story of his
childhood (the woodcutter
and the axe ), He started
praying to the River
Goddess. The River Goddess
wanted to test him and so
appeared only after one
month of rigorous prayers.
The engineer told her that he
had lost his computer in the
river. As usual, the Goddess
wanted to test his honesty.
She showed him a match box
and asked, " Is this your
computer ?" Disappointed by
the Goddess' lack of
computer awareness, the
engineer replied, " No." She
next showed him a pocket-
sized calculator and asked if
that was his. Annoyed, the
engineer said "No, not at all!!"
Finally, she came up with his
own Pentium machine and
asked if it was his. The
engineer, left with no option,
sighed and said " Yes." The
River Goddess was happy
with his honesty. She was
about to give Him all three
items, but before she could
make the offer, the engineer
Asked her, "Don't you know
that you're supposed to
show me some better
computers before bringing
up my own ?" The River
Goddess, angered at this,
replied, "I know that, you
stupid donkey! The first two
things I showed you were the
Trillennium and the
Billennium, the latest
computers from IBM !". So
saying, she disappeared with
the Pentium!! ********
Moral :If you're not up-to-
date with technology trends ,
it's better to keep your
mouth shut and let people
think you're a fool than to
open your mouth and remove
all doubt."
