THINK SERIOUSLY ABOUT CHANGING OUR BAD HABITS

Ratan Tata Tweet...
Germany is a highly industrialized country. In such a
country, many will think its people lead a luxurious life.
When we arrived at Hamburg , my colleagues walked
into the restaurant, we noticed that a lot of tables were
empty. There was a table where a young couple was
having their meal. There were only two dishes and two
cans of beer on the table. I wondered if such simple
meal could be romantic, and whether the girl will leave
this stingy guy.
There were a few old ladies on another table. When a
dish is served, the waiter would distribute the food for
them, and they would finish every bit of the food on their
plates.
As we were hungry, our local colleague ordered more
food for us.When we left, there was still about one third
of un-consumed food on the table.
When we were leaving the restaurant, the old ladies
spoke to us in English, we understood that they were
unhappy about us wasting so much food.
"We paid for our food, it is none of your business how
much food we left behind," my colleague told the old
ladies. The old ladies were furious. One of them
immediately took her hand phone out and made a call to
someone. After a while, a man in uniform from Social
Security organisation arrived. Upon knowing what the
dispute was, he issued us a 50 Euro fine. We all kept
quiet.
The officer told us in a stern voice, "ORDER WHAT YOU
CAN CONSUME, MONEY IS YOURS BUT RESOURCES
BELONG TO THE SOCIETY. THERE ARE MANY OTHERS
IN THE WORLD WHO ARE FACING SHORTAGE OF
RESOURCES. YOU HAVE NO REASON TO WASTE
RESOURCES."
The mindset of people of this rich country put all of us
to shame. WE REALLY NEED TO REFLECT ON THIS. We
are from country which is not very rich in resources. To
save face, we order large quantity and also waste food
when we give others a treat.

THE LESSON IS:- THINK SERIOUSLY ABOUT CHANGING
OUR BAD HABITS. Expecting acknowledgment, that u
read the message and forward to your contacts.
VERY TRUE -"MONEY IS YOURS BUT RESOURCES
BELONG TO THE SOCIETY."
