A learned business man was at the pier of a small costal village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellow tuna. The educated complemented the fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them. The fisherman replied, “Only a little while”. The businessman then asked why didn’t he stay out longer and catch more fish? The fisherman said that he had enough to support his family’s immediate needs. The businessman then asked, “But what do you do with the rest of your time?”
The fisherman said, “I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siesta, stroll into the village each evening where I sip coffee and chat with my friends. I have a full and busy life, sir”.
The businessman scoffed, “I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds buy a bigger boat and with the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats, eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution.

He came at around ten thirty form his office very tired and worn out from the hard day’s work. He wanted to just fall on his warm and cozy bed and go off to sleep. But he knew his duty always comes first before his comfort. Sitting at the feet of his father, he took a bowl of warm water and started to clean the infected areas surrounding his feet. The wounds on the wrinkled skin needed tender care and love in order to slowly heal. Since a diabetic needs to be very careful, he made sure that the nails were trim and clean. He did all possible things to prevent an infection from erupting. His father sat watching his son with silent admiration. Through his misty eyes he could see him entering the kitchen and could hear the clatter of plates and tumblers. With a broad smile he came and sat beside his father. Then he began feeding him with a spoon. Everything had to be clean. Besides his father also had a nervous problem, as a result of which his hands were not steady. So he had to help him out with everything.
“Good night appa”, he said and went to the hall. There he knelt down to say his prayers. The father who was a skeptic has observed this for a couple of months. He recollected the days when he had insulted him several times whenever he saw him praying. He remembered how he debated with his son about the reality of God. “God is for the weak. Strong men can do anything without him.” A weak smile emerged in his face. A moment of realization dawned on him. From the half open shutters the moon light filtered into the darkness raising shadows unknown. Suddenly he realized that he was walking towards the hall. He sat beside his son.
Answer the following questions. (5 X 2 = 10)
- How did the son feel when he came home from his work?

Thirty members and guests attended the meeting at the Carriage Club. After the dinner, Roger Traver introduced the guest speaker, George Smith, University Chancellor, and noted his accomplishments and experiences prior to education- U.S.Navy commander, Oak Ridge laboratory researcher, and politician. Dr. Smith’s talk, ‘Industry and Education Collaboration’ was very interesting and included a history of special projects enjoyed by both academics and corporate heads. Dr. Smith suggested that we engineers could work with education to
- Provide training seminars, 2. Help in urban development and 3. Provide intern opportunities. Recent industry education collaborations include training seminars in computers, fiber optics, and human resource options. The chancellor’s primary thrust was a request for $ 100,000 in financial aid for urban development. He said money had already been donated from three sources: a large reality firm, Capital Homes, Had given $ 20,000: A philanthropic group, We Care had donated a matching $ 20,000: Dr. Smith’s University gave a matching $20,000. The remaining $40,000, Dr. Smith hoped, would come from industry donations. Finally, the chancellor noted that industry could help itself, as well as the community, by providing internships for University undergraduate majors. These internships could either be semester- or year-long arrangements, where by students would work for minimum wage to learn more about the day-to-day aspects of their chosen fields. The chancellor said that these internships would not only increase the students’ theoretical knowledge of engineering by giving them hands- on experience but also make them better future employees of the host engineering companies. Everyone would benefit. Dr. Smith noted that the students would receive a grade and credit for their work. After the speech, our VP introduced new business, calling for nominations for next year’s officers; gave us the agenda for our next meeting; and adjourned the meeting.
