တစ္ခါတုန္းက လမ္းေဘးမွာ အသားညွပ္ေပါင္မုန္႕ေတြ ေရာင္းခ်ေနတဲ့ လူတစ္ဦးရွိခဲ့တယ္။ သူဟာ စာမတတ္တဲ့အတြက္ေၾကာင့္ ဘယ္တုန္းကမွ သတင္းစာ မဖတ္ခဲ့ပါဘူး။ သူဟာ နားထုိင္းတဲ့အတြက္ေၾကာင့္ ေရဒီယိုလည္း နားေထာင္ျခင္း မရွိခဲ့ပါဘူး။ သူဟာ မ်က္စိမႈန္တဲ့အတြက္ေၾကာင့္ ရုပ္ျမင္သံၾကားလည္း ၾကည့္ရူ႕ခဲ့ျခင္း မရွိပါဘူး။
ဒါေပမယ့္ သူဟာ အသားညွပ္ေပါင္မုန္႕ေတြကို စိတ္အားထက္သန္စြာ ေရာင္းခ်ခဲ့တယ္။ သူ႕ရဲ႕ ေရာင္းအားနဲ႕ အက်ိဳးအျမတ္ဟာ ျမင့္တက္လာခဲ့တယ္။ သူဟာ အသားေတြပိုမွာရင္း ပိုၾကီးျပီး ပိုေကာင္းတဲ့ မီးဖိုတစ္ခုကိုလည္း ဝယ္ယူခဲ့ပါတယ္။
သူ႕ရဲ႕စီးပြားေရး တိုးတက္လာေနစဥ္ မၾကာေသးမီက ဘြဲ႕ရခဲ့တဲ့ သူ႕သားဟာ ဖခင္ျဖစ္သူထံ လာေရာက္ပူးေပါင္းပါတယ္။ အဲဒီေနာက္ ထူးျခားမႈတစ္ခု ျဖစ္ပြားခဲ့တယ္။ သားျဖစ္သူက ေမးလုိက္ပါတယ္။ “ေဖေဖ…ကြ်န္ေတာ္တို႕ ေတြ႕ၾကံဳလာရမယ့္ စီးပြားေရးက်ဆင္းမႈကို သတိမျပဳမိဘူး မဟုတ္လား”ဖခင္ျဖစ္သူက ျပန္ေျပာလိုက္ပါတယ္။ “သတိမျပဳမိဘူး။ ေဖေဖကို ေျပာျပပါလားကြ။” သားျဖစ္သူက ေျပာျပပါတယ္။ “နုိင္ငံတကာ အေျခအေနေတြဟာ ဆိုးရြားေနပါတယ္။ ျပည္တြင္းအေျခအေနက ပိုျပီးေတာင္ ဆုိးေသးတယ္။ က်ေရာက္လာမယ့္ အခက္အခဲေတြအတြက္ ကြ်န္ေတာ္တို႕ ၾကိဳတင္ျပင္ဆင္ထားသင့္တယ္။”
သူ႕သားဟာ ေကာလိပ္တစ္ခုမွ ဘြဲ႕ရလာခဲ့သည့္အျပင္ သတင္းစာလည္းဖတ္၊ ေရဒီယိုလည္း နားေထာင္တဲ့အတြက္ေၾကာင့္ အမ်ားၾကီး သိလိမ့္မယ္။ သားရဲ႕အၾကံေပးမႈကို ေပါ့ေပါ့တန္တန္ သေဘာမထားသင့္ဘူးလို႕ ဖခင္ျဖစ္သူက ေတြးလိုက္မိပါတယ္။ ဒါေၾကာင့္ ေနာက္တစ္ေန႕မွာ ဖခင္ျဖစ္သူဟာ အသားေတြနဲ႕ေပါင္မုန္႕မွာယူမႈ ေလွ်ာ့ခ်လိုက္ျပီး ဆိုင္းဘုတ္တစ္ခုလည္း ခ်ိတ္ထားလိုက္တယ္။ ျပီးေတာ့ သူဟာ အလုပ္မွာလည္း စိတ္အားထက္သန္မႈ မရွိေတာ့ပါဘူူး။
မၾကာမီ သူ႕ရဲ႕အသားညွပ္ေပါင္မုန္႕ဆုိင္မွာ လာဝယ္တဲ့လူေတြ နည္းနည္းလာေတာ့တယ္။ ျပီးေတာ့ ေရာင္းခ်ရမႈလည္း အလ်င္အျမန္ ေလ်ာ့က်လာခဲ့တယ္။ ဖခင္က သားျဖစ္သူကို ေျပာလိုက္ပါတယ္။ “သားေရ…သားေျပာတာ မွန္သားပဲ။ ေဖေဖတို႕ ေရာင္းအားက်ေနျပီ။ ၾကိဳတင္ျပီး သတိေပးခဲ့တဲ့အတြက္ သားကို ေက်းဇူးတင္ပါတယ္။”
ပံုျပင္ရဲ႕ သင္ခန္းစာ
(၁) ကြ်န္ေတာ္တုိ႕ဟာ အၾကိမ္ေပါင္းမ်ားစြာပင္ ေကာင္းေကာင္းမြန္မြန္ အကဲျဖတ္နုိင္၊ ဥာဏ္မသံုးနုိင္ဘဲ ေတြေဝေနတတ္ၾကတယ္။
(၂) လူတစ္ေယာက္ဟာ အသိဥာဏ္ ျမင့္မားနုိင္ေပမယ့္ ည့ံဖ်င္းတဲ့ အကဲျဖတ္မႈ ျပဳလုပ္မိတတ္ပါတယ္။
(၃) သင့္ရဲ႕ အၾကံေပးသူေတြကို ဂရုတစိုက္ေရြးခ်ယ္ျပီး ကိုယ္တိုင္ ခ်င့္ခ်ိန္ အကဲျဖတ္လိုက္ပါ။

(၅) ဝမ္းနည္းဖြယ္ေကာင္းတာကေတာ့ က်ရံႈးမႈ ေတြ႕ၾကံဳေနရတဲ့လူေတြအတြက္ လက္ကိုင္ေတာင္ေဝွးအျဖစ္ အသံုးျပဳနိုင္တဲ့ စြယ္စံုက်မ္းေတြ အမ်ားၾကီးရွိေနတယ္ဆုိတာ မသိရွိျခင္းပါပဲ။
Educational and Good Judgment
Written by
Krishna Khanna
There is a story about a
man who sold hot dogs by the roadside. He was illiterate, so he
never read newspapers. He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the
radio. His eyes were weak, so he never watched television.
But enthusiastically, he sold lots of hot dogs. His sales and profit went up. He ordered more meat and got himself a bigger and a better stove.
As his business was growing, the son, who had recently graduated from college, joined his father. Then something strange happened. The son asked, "Dad, aren't you aware of the great recession that is coming our way?"
The father replied, "No, but tell me about it." The son said, "The international situation is terrible. The domestic is even worse. We should be prepared for the coming bad time."
The man thought that since his son had been to college, read the papers, and listened to the radio, he ought to know and his advice should not be taken lightly. So the next day, the father cut down his order for the meat and buns, took down the sign and was no longer enthusiastic.
Very soon, fewer and fewer people bothered to stop at his hot dog stand. And his sales started coming down rapidly. The father said to his son, "Son, you were right. We are in the middle of a recession. I am glad you warned me ahead of time."
What is the moral of the story?
1. Many times we confuse intelligence with good judgment.
2. A person may have high intelligence but poor judgment.
3. Choose your advisers carefully and use your judgment.
4. A person can and will be successful with or without formal education if they have the 5 Cs: Character, Commitment, Conviction, Courtesy, Courage
5. The tragedy is that there are many walking encyclopedias who are living failures.
