---------- The Strict Businessman ----------
In the middle of a big booming metropolitan area stood a high tower of steel and glass. Its presence was filled with majesty and magnificence. Anyone who passed by it was awe-stricken and dumbfounded. And who wasn't? The skyscraper was the tallest and the grandest ever built in the city!
At 35 years old, 5'7" and well-built physique was Brandon Wahlberg -
the Chairman and CEO of a software company who owned the building. He himself was a drop-dead gorgeous life-form who was ever-loved by anyone who saw him - but not any of his employees! He was a mean-tempered guy who cared no one but himself. He was very much conceited, and his ego was ever high all the time. He always felt he was on top of everyone else in all the world. One working day, on a sunny afternoon, he got mad in his office. He looked at his table with all the mess and the papers. He couldn't imagine why his 50-year old secretary couldn't even clean out the clutter. He was fuming mad, and hurriedly called the utility. A moment later, Mrs. Roberts, her secretary, arrived looking nervous. Then he yelled at her with all his strength that left Mrs. Roberts trembling and crying. But that didn't stop him from doing even worse. He wanted to fire her! He wanted her to get out of the room immediately. But before she left, she stood in front of him and looked him in the face. "I have enough of this Mr. Wahlberg. I can't take this anymore. If only you have a heart then people around you will love you and will work for you faithfully." she said strongly. Then she left. At that very moment, Mr. Wahlberg was stunned! He felt he couldn't move. He couldn't even speak. He was bothered by what she just said. He just couldn't believe somebody talked to him that way. He sat in the office for hours and hours thinking about what happened, even went beyond to reflecting all his life and all he had been doing. "Why am I like this?" "Why I easily get mad?" he asked himself repeatedly. "I am blessed with good looks, high intelligence and with everything a man could ever want, but I feel there's something missing." was all he can say to himself. So the following day, he went to church to reflect more and pray hard. He wanted to be enlightened, he wanted to know what was lacking in his life. Then he went home sad and lonely and not feeling good at all. At night, he was not able to sleep right away for he was being bothered by what he did to her secretary who had been with him for so long already. He felt it wasn't right to treat her that way. He closed his eyes but suddenly he got up from his bed and stood near his window. He looked out to the night sky which was full of stars and the moon shining brightly on the horizon. "If only I find someone who I will fall in love with tremendously, then my whole life and everything will change." he prayed and hoped silently. ---------- Moral Of The Story ---------- Even if you have all the looks and all the wealth in the world, life is not complete without love.
