TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
A SHORT STORY
There lived two woodcutters,
Rahim and Rahman

They earned barely enough to
survive

Their earning was merely
hand to mouth


A SHORT STORY
One sunny day, the
woodcutters having lunch

A beggar comes to them

Rahim wanted to offer the
share of his lunch

Rahman stopped Rahim and
offered the job to beggar

A SHORT STORY
Rahman offered his axe to beggar
and taught how to cut the wood

beggar muttered angrily: " It would
have been so much simpler if these
men had been generous by sharing
their food

In the mean time, a person stepped
out and purchased the whole bundle
of wood

A SHORT STORY
Rahman told Rahim, " Had you
given the beggar some food, he
would have eaten it quickly and
would have been again hungry
tonight.

By teaching him how to start
his own trade in firewood, we
have both taught him a skill,
which will last him a lifetime.

Now he will never go hungry
again



A SHORT STORY
As a very famous saying goes,
" Don't give them fish but teach them how
to catch the fish. "
