The Golden Touch

King Midas was a very wealthy king who had a fascination with gold. One day, he was granted a wish by a mysterious figure, and without hesitation, Midas wished that everything he touched would turn to gold.

At first, Midas was overjoyed. He touched stones, trees, and flowers, and they all turned into pure gold. However, his joy turned to despair when he tried to eat, and his food turned to gold. When his beloved daughter ran to hug him, she turned to gold as well.

Midas realized that his wish was a curse. He begged the mysterious figure to take back his wish, learning a valuable lesson about greed and appreciating what truly matters in life.

In the corporate world, the pursuit of profit and success is important, but it should not come at the expense of personal well-being, relationships, or ethical values. Balancing ambition with humanity is crucial for sustainable success and fulfillment.

Moral

The story of King Midas teaches us the dangers of excessive greed and the importance of valuing what truly matters in life. Wealth and success are important, but they should not overshadow personal happiness and relationships.

Too many people spend money they haven’t earned, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people they don’t like.
