We read Akbar and Birbal stories throughout our childhood. They always ended with a sweet little moral that taught us a thing or two about life. Today, we are revisiting those stories and taking out some essential work advice from them. Read on as we tell you some simple messages that could help you at your work place.
You don't have to believe everything you hear.
One day Akbar asked his courtiers if they could tell him the difference between truth and falsehood in three words or less. The courtiers look at each other in bewilderment, but couldn't find an answer. The emperor finally turned to Birbal. 'Four fingers' said Birbal. The emperor was confused, but Birbal elaborated. 'That's the difference between truth and falsehood, your Majesty. Everything you see with your own eyes is the truth. But what you hear with your ears may or may not be true. More often than not, it's likely to be false.' But Akbar didn't get the point of ' four fingers.' To which Birbal replied – 'The distance between one's eyes and one's ears is the width of four fingers.'
The moral of the story is to trust your eyes and nothing else.
2. When you're stuck with something on an important assignment, think calmly and you'll figure a way out.
One day, Emperor Akbar and Birbal were taking a walk in the palace gardens. Suddenly Akbar asked Birbal how many crows were there in his kingdom. Birbal replied, 'There are ninety-five thousand four hundred and
sixty-three crows in the Kingdom.' Akbar tried to test him again, 'What if there are more crows than you answered?' Without hesitating Birbal replied, 'If there are more crows than my answer, then some crows are visiting
from other neighbouring kingdoms.'
'And what if there are lesser crows?'
Akbar asked.
'Then some crows from our kingdom have gone on a holiday to another place.'
It's simple. There is always a way if you think with ease. Always.
