One day, one scientist came to his boss and told him, "Sir; I've promised to take my children to the exhibition going on in our township so I want to leave at 5:30 p. His boss replied, "OK. You're permitted to leave the office early today/
The scientist started working. He continued his work after lunch. As usual, he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch only when he \felt he was close to completion. The time was 8:30 p. m. suddenly he remembered his promise to the children. He looked for his boss but he was not there・ Having told him in the morning himself, he closed everything and left for home. Deep within himself, he was feeling guilty for having disappointed his children. He reached home. The children were not there. His wife alone was sitting in the hall and reading magazines. The situation was explosive; any talk would
boomerang on him. His wife asked him, "Would you like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner if you are hungry?" The man replied, "If you would like to have coffee, I too will have but what about the children?〃His wife replied, "You don't know? Your boss came here at 5:15 p. m. and has taken them to the exhibiti on.〃
What had really happened was the boss who gave him permission was observing him working seriously at 5:00 p. m. He thought to himself: this person will not leave the work, but he z s promised to take his children to the exhibition. So he took the lead in taking them there. The boss does not have to do it every time. But once it's done, loyalty is established.
That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss even though the stress was extraordinarily huge. By the way , can you boldly guess who the boss was? He was none other that the mastermind behind India's successful nuclear weap ons program, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, former preside nt of In dia.

After the dances, he retumed to his car only to find that it had a flat tire. He put on the spare and drove to the only service station in that town. “Do you fix flats?" he inquired of the attendant.
“YesJ came the answer・
“How much do you charge?^ he asked・
With a twinkle in his eye, the man replied, “Wha t difference does it make?、'
This is what has been called a "Hobson's choice： A Hobson?s choice is a situation that forces a person to accept whatever is offered or go without.
According to Barbara Berliner, the phrase was inspired by sixteenth-century entrepreneur （企业家）Thomas Hobson.

Instead of saying, "I have to stay home', try 'I choose to stay home\ The way you spend your time is your choice・ You are responsible. You have control；
In just seven days I was no longer saying “I have to^ and I felt better about my decisions・ I learned that there is very little in my life I actually have to do. You and I decide to do certain things because we believe that it will be for the best. When we eliminate "I have to" from our vocabularies, we take control.
