In a village there were two boys, Jack and Jill, who were virtually jobless and did not even want to work. Villagers thought of making them busy but all efforts were invain. In the village the drinking water was a big problem and hence the elder people of the village thought that if these two guys bring the water from the pond which was just out side the village but bit far, they will earn money, remain busy and also the villagers would get the essential service at their door. So they offered certain sum per bucket of the water to both the boys. More bucket of water means more money.

Since the terms were quite reasonable, both guys started working every day. Jack used to supply water from 5am to 5pm every day. After very hard working day he used to take rest, entertain with with the family and friends after his work time. Where as Jill thought of some alternate plans, so he used to supply water only from 5am to 2pm. After 2 pm he used to digging a canal on his own. He used to dig the canal till 7 pm or even late some days. He used to work every day and night, But the earnings of Jill were much less than Jack. So Jill used to just watch the Jack's way of living while continue to dig the canal. After 3 years, the Jack not only earned good money but also made some good social status. It continued for another 2 years because every one appreciated Jack for earning more and could not understand what jill was into so they used to think that he is fool. There was vast difference betwen the earnings of Jack and Jill. But after 5 years Jill completed the canal got a very warm opening and announced to supply the water to all villagers at 50% of the price the bucket being supplied earlier. Villagers accepted the offer happily and this made the Jack jobless. For 5 years Jill was humiliated for earning less and onsession with canal. Every one was damn sure that this would not work and Jill is fool. Not only this Jill could not enjoy the life in these 5 years and had o put in lot of efforts. Infact, if this did not work , Jill would have lost every thing because he had already put in his all saving in this canal construction. But friends Jill had a vision where he could see supplying the water 24 hours to the villagers. In only 3 months Jill was much richer than Jack and in next 2 years he became the richest person in the village

Rather Jack was totally frustrated with this development and had no choice except doing job under Jill.

Friends this story I read long back and noticed that when we do something unique or great, it would not be appreciated rather people would term you as fool. Because uniqueness is not visible to every one. But gradually they would start understanding and by the time you are through with your plans, you would be much ahead of the others. People call it smart work where the money not just comes but pours. Just find out yaar where are the opportunities may be with in us only. It is said na "Dusre ki thali mai sabko ghee jyaada nazar aata hai", means we have more ghee but other one is seeing that . We only need to see it properly.
