Two Things in Life

I’m reminded of a family who went on to visit ‘Apple Computers’ headquartered in Cupertino, California in USA. The year was 1999. That time, ‘Apple’ was emerging into a great pride of the nation. The family was at the main building gate. They wanted a full family photo at the background of the main building. It was then that they saw a man getting into a car parked nearby. The father took no time to turn to him and request a help. The man paused a moment as the iPhone was handed over to him. The man however took a great deal of care composing the photo, backing up a few steps several times, tapping the iPhone screen to lock focus, then said, "Smile!" as he snapped the photo. He handed back the iPhone and they said, "Thank you, sir."  The man stepped into his car, closed the door, and drove away. The family looked at the photo that the man had taken and all agreed that it looked great. The family went on their way, but the Apple staff, who crossed the spot to witness all these was given an unforgettable lesson. He whispered, ‘people generally live on assumptions not knowing what really is going on or what actually is the truth of the moment’. He only knew that the man who helped the family was none other than Steve Jobs, CEO of ‘Apple Computers’. Everybody admits that we are very good lawyers for our mistakes and very good Judges for other’s mistakes. That however is not living at human standards.
