3Dolls
A sage presented a prince with a set of three small dolls. The prince was not amused."Am I a girl that you give me dolls?he asked.
"This is a gift for a future king," said the man."If you look carefully ,you"ll see a hole in the ear of each doll."
"So?"
The sage handed him a piece of string.
"pass it through each doll,"he said.
Intrigued, the prince picked up the first doll and put the string into the ear.
It come out from the other ear.
"This is one type of person,"said the man.
"Whatever you tell him, comes out from other ear. He doesn"t retain anything."
The prince put the second type of person,"said the man.
"Whatever you tell him, he tells everybody else."
The prince picked up the third doll and repeated the process. The string did not reappear from anywhere else.
"This is the third type of person,"said the man.
"Whatever you tell him is locked up within him. It never comes out."
"What is the best person ?"asked prince.
The man handed him a froth doll, in answer.
When the prince put the string into the doll, it came out from the other ear.
"Do it again,"said the sage. The prince repeated the process. This time the string came out from the mouth. When he put the string in a third time , it did not come out at all.
"This is the best type of person,"said the man. "To be trustworthy, a man must know when not to listen, when to remain silent and when to speak out."
A wise person knows when to listen and when not to, when to silent and when to speak. What about me? Which kind of doll you represent?
If you happen to fall in the first three category, have you made any attempt to shift yourself to the fourth category? Well.
This story makes us more conscious  about being sensitive to different situation and people.
Diplomacy in life is cooked through the oven of sensitivity and awareness. Being sensitive and aware to people and situation makes us trustworthy in life.
I am sure that is what all of us expect from another human being.
