In a small town, there once lived a very greedy rich man. One day he hired a mathematician to find the best way for him to make the greatest profit in all his businesses. The Mathematician studied for months before he found the solution. One night, Mathematician had a big smile on his face. The next day, he went to a rich man’s house and said, “I found it...! My calculations are perfect. The rich man didn’t have time to listen to him as he had to leave for a long journey. So he said to the mathematician, “I promise i will pay you double wages when I come back but only if you take charge of my business and put the new formula into practice.” The mathematician was very excited because of his new formula; he delightedly accepted the proposal. Months later when the rich man returned, he found that all his possessions were gone. He was furious and went to the mathematician to ask for an explanation. The mathematician calmly told him that he had given away everything to people in need. The rich man couldn’t believe it and was getting angrier. Mathematician explained to the rich man his formula, “I studied for months but everything I tried was always limited as there’s a limit to how much one man can do by himself. Then I understood the key was that many people could help achieve the goal of profiting more. So, the conclusion was that helping others was the best way to get more and more people to benefit you.
“The rich man was disappointed and furious over the mathematician's act and took his coat and stormed outside. While he was walking away, several neighbors came to him looking worried about him. All of them were those who were helped by the rich man’s fortune. They felt grateful to him and offered him to be a guest in their homes. Over the next few days, wherever he went he was received with great honor and appreciation and everyone was willing to help him in whatever way they could. Now, the rich man could see the results of what the mathematician had calculated. He realized that helping others with some now has given him much, much more later. In this way, he managed to quickly set up flourishing businesses, but this time he followed the brilliant mathematician’s advice. Now he no longer kept his money in a safe, instead, he shared his fortune among the people, whose hearts had converted his safe into gratefulness.
Moral: Helping others and sharing with others gives you the ultimate happiness and riches.
