The Pandit's Pot

A Pandit once went to Akbar's Court and told the Emperor he would like to test the intelligence of his Courtiers. Akbar gave him permission. The Courtiers gathered in the palace at the appointed hour. The Pandit kept a covered pot before them and asked them to tell him what it contained.
There was absolute silence. Then Birbal stepped forward, he uncovered the pot and said there was nothing in it.
"But you opened it!" said the Pandit.
"You did not say we should not open it," replied Birbal. The Pandit was disappointed. He bowed to the Emperor and walked away.
Management Moral: Very often our mind invents obstacles that do not exist. Don't assume rules that don't exist. The obvious solution often escapes the excessively preoccupied mind. Also, never underestimate the potential and capability of people around you. Each of us has our own resources.
