Hey guys,
is being so long since i last updated this blog. Anyway, as the topic stated i will be posting one of the story i read today which i personally feel that it is really interesting. Now i would like to share with you The jack and jill story!!!

Hang on!!! Before we start, have you guys ever thought how actually water comes from???
The water came from various parts of the places like the sea, river and etc. All these places are connected with pipes to bring the water to the substation so that the water can be supply to our houses. The story that I am going to tell you all today is something related to what I have just say. Let’s begin with the story.

Jack and Jill provide services to their village by fetching pails of water from the top of the hill to the villagers. They were paid accordingly on each pail of water fetched to the villagers.

After fetching the water for few years, Jill thinks of an idea. The idea is to make a pipe from the hill to the village, so that she no longer had to go up and down the hill anymore which is such a tiring job and she could also say up a lot of time. Then, Jill decided to share this idea with Jack. Unfortunately Jack was not pleased with the idea and he directly shouted at Jill "What a stupid idea, how are you going to build a pipe from the hill to the village, don’t be crazy. Since you are so free, why not go and fetch a few more pails of water to earn more. Stop day dreaming and get back to work"

After hearing what Jack say, Jill was really mad at him. Jill decided to ignore Jack comments and started to think of how to build the pipe. She spent one year to figure out on how to build a pipe from the hill to the village and after that spent another one year to build the pipe. In these two years, she earned 50% less than Jack due to the commitment on learning and building the pipe. Jack always mocked her as a crazy girl in the village during the two years.

After the completion of the pipe, Jack was still going up and down the hill to fetch water. Jill however has a better life now. She just needed to turn on the pipe in the village to fill up water for the villagers. Also she can now charge less than Jack.The villagers were very happy and satisfied with Jill's service as it is fast and efficient. More villagers are willing to get the water from Jill rather than Jack as they do not want to wait and is cheaper. Sooner or later, Jack was workless as no villagers want to get water from him. He regretted what he said to Jill in the past few years.

That is the end of this story. The moral that we have learn here is that "Have an open heart when someone share’s an idea with you. Do not shoot down their ideas or mock anyone based on your ignorance. "
