HOW TO USE YOUR INTELLIGENCE

A Chinese gentleman booked a first class ticket on Eastern China Airlines. He went to the airport, flashed his first class ticket at the entrance to the lounge of the Airlines and had the sumptuous free lunch that he was entitled to. He came out of the lounge, went to the airlines counter, cancelled his ticket and booked a fresh first class ticket for the next day.

On the morn he went back to the airport, showed his ticket at the lounge, had his free rich lunch once again, cancelled his ticket and booked a new first class ticket for two days later.

This smart guy did this 300 times within 365 days, having a free lunch all those 300 times, and not flying even once! The airlines confessed that his scheme was a “rare act”, but he had not broken any rules of the company. The management did finally stop his “act” but had even to refund him the cost of the last ticket he had booked and cancelled!

Why are we not able to use our intelligence as smartly as this guy but, hopefully, to do good and to be of better service to society?
