State-minister of the kingdom of Pepin(King of France)
had grown old, so there was the need of new State-minister.
King Pepin organised one competition for the
appointment of new State-minister, in which all young scholars of state took
part. In that competition, three young scholars were equally succeeded.
King had only need of one State-minister, he thought
an idea to organise Royal feast in different days with three scholars so that
they would be tested personally and the decision to opt for best State-minister
could be done.
First night, Royal feast with first scholar was made.
In the last of Royal feast, delicious Royal rice pudding was presented.
After
completing his dinner, First scholar ate rice pudding with great fervour;
during whole dinner he talked nothing.
In
the end of dinner, King Pepin asked- Today’s Royal feast was especially for
you, how did you like all this?
He
after thinking for a moment, replied in deep tone- That was all right but there
was one drawback, see this husk of rice which destroyed the whole taste of rice
pudding and Royal feast!
By
saying this he remained quiet.
Next night,
King with second scholar did the same dinner. This time King intentionally put
the husk of rice in the Royal rice pudding.
Second
scholar’s compliments were not ending from the beginning to the end of Royal
feast. He also ate rice pudding but he didn’t show any reaction about the husk
of rice.
Third
night, King with third scholar did the same dinner again, this time also King purposely
kept the husk of rice in the rice pudding.
Third
scholar didn’t say anything from the beginning to the end of Royal feast.
In
the end of Royal feast, King asked- How did you like the dinner?
Third
scholar replied- Majesty, Royal feast was ultimate savoury but there was one
drawback in rice pudding which finally discoloured a little taste of Royal
feast; but due to one small husk of rice we cannot neglect the importance of
whole Royal feast.
He
then told the King about the qualities and weakness of different dishes; also told
one new recipe to make rice pudding tastier.
Fourth
day the result was to be announced, King appointed third scholar as a State-minister.
Queen
was along with the King from the beginning to the end of this competition.
After this, she asked the King- My Lord, why did you appoint third scholar as a
State-minister while the husk of rice was also perceived
by first scholar?
King
explained- My Lady, first scholar is detractor, he only criticises. He ignores
the goodness, only finds the mistakes and drawbacks, and doesn’t work for the
solution of those mistakes. How can Kingdom progress in the hands of that detractor?
Second scholar is smarmy; he knows how to straighten his owl, repress the
mistakes and only gives importance to goodness. In the hands of that sycophant how
can Kingdom progress?
Third
scholar is reviewer; he sees both negativisms and goodness; motivates to make
the best even better, finds the solution of mistakes and tries to improve them.
Like that pure reviewer can only do something good for Kingdom.
Dear
friends, Near us there are people who are detractor (critic), sycophant and
reviewer. Please give place to reviewers nearby you and your friend circle,
because critic and sycophant are not good for anyone. Make the next generation
pure reviewer then only Country-Society-Family and we our self can progress.
Thank You.
