Hello Bright,
Yet another bright posting from you. Really superb and contains a powerful message for all especially younger generation.
It reminds of me the message of "Bagavad Gita" where Lord Krishna advises Arjuna to "do his duty"
Husband could have done his duty considering the age of the child. But... he delegated it to her wife, who thought that her work in kitchen is more important than the child.
An English proverb proclaims, "A stitch in time saves nine" Had the husband attended to it without delegating it to her wife, the child could have been saved. So
1. The first lesson, delegate your work to a responsible subordinate and not to anyone, including to your wife, if she doesn't understand the importance and urgency of the work delegated.
2. [/B] Second, always don't entrust the work to others especially head going work,if the subordinate is not able to understand your message and doesn't take responsibility to do that work.
3. Third, always extend your imagination a bit longer and see in your mind what would happen if the delegated work is not done as instructed. If you feel the consequences are disastrous, don't delegate if the subordinate is immature and doesn't take responsibility to complete the work as directed.
This is a wonderful story with a powerful message of when,where and to whom the delegation of very important work has to be done. It is always better to think far ahead of the present situation and imagine the consequences of not doing the delegated work. Then you need not repent what you have done. Apply your mind and act.
