PRECAUTION is more powerful than EXPERTISE!

At an interview to fill the vacancy
of a Field Engineer in a
multinational oil company, two
competent and qualified
Engineers were shortlisted and
the company was to decide on
who to retain and who to show
the red card.
They asked them if they could
drive and they both answered in
the affirmative, though only one
of them could drive.
The Head of Human Resources
spearheading the interview cum
pruning session then handed
them his car keys to prove their
driving skills within the premises.
The over-confident applicant
collected the keys, opened the
car, switched on the ignition,
lighted it up, sped off, swirled,
swerved and made some stunts
on wheels before parking the car
on the same spot to the seeming
rousing applause and
mischievously knowing smile of
the interviewers.
The other applicant, who could
not drive collected the keys all the
same, opened the car, opened
the bonnet, checked the engine
oil level, the brake fluid level, the
gear oil level and the water in the
radiator level.
As he closed the bonnet, the
Chief Interviewer walked
towards him and said: "Don't
bother driving, you've just been
hired!"
PRECAUTION is more powerful
than EXPERTISE!
The race is not to the swiftest,
but to the wise! Don't be brash
and over-confident. Learn the
ropes and never back off from
giving your best even if you don't
possess what it takes.
That someone is doing it fast
doesn't mean he is doing it right!
Direction is more important than
speed!
Exercise caution and take
precaution in the journey of life -
that's how to be recruited into
the employment of success....
