Choice of a Lifetime
He was an honest man. He neither lied nor cheated anyone. That was his ideal. As a result, he wasn’t the wealthiest. Once, he was presented with a choice at his work: he could lie and make a contract to go in favor of one of the parties, or he could stay honest and give it to the right party. If he could favor a particular party, then he would be rewarded, under the table of course. But he didn't like that. His colleagues encouraged him to take the offer. His wife also encouraged him to take it up. She could think only of what would happen if they were to receive such an amount. They can afford to buy a huge mansion and they can send their little daughter to a great private school in time. She started to imagine how their life would change for the better. She didn't care about any other implications.
