Cooperation without Coordination

I like hearing stories.Many people do.But I enjoy them most when they teach us something.So there is this teacher who was trying to make a point.Cooperation without coordination is disastrous.He came up with a story.Thought would share with all of you.

'There is this guy who lives with his family.Parents and a sister.Poor family.Somehow he manages his graduation and thereafter dives deep in the pool of job hunt.Finally one day he gets an interview call which is scheduled a week later.He prepares well for his golden hour .But he had only one formal trouser. And that two an inch longer than what would fit him.But he wanted everything to be perfect that day.So asks his sister to fix it for him.She denies giver her busy schedule.He then asks his mother.Even she denies all tired with household work.He then goes to his father who was preoccupied with his mustache says doing that would be a big step down for him.Disappointed he himself fixes the trouser.

Next day his sister feels bad for denying his only brother.She reduces the length further, of course unwary of the fact that it had already been taken care of.Then his mother too feels the same and further reduces the length.Even dad swings into action.On the day of the interview when he puts of the trouser, it puzzles him that how come it turned into a 3/4th.'
