The story of the baker and the computer engineer

Today I'm back to tell you a story, the story of the baker and the computer engineer.

Some time ago there was two friends, one of them works as baker and the second one went to the university and completed a carreer, computer engineer.

During this time,  the baker was working some years and he earned some money and every friday and saturday night he went out to the disco and pubs

In this same years, the second friend (the one who is engineer today) had to study very much but this is a work which didn't return him any money, he couldn't go out due to he had no free time neither money.

He had to leave his family and go to other city, bigger than his. He knew new people and fight very hard to get what he wanted.

Those years became harder and harder due to the friend who went to university couldn't see inmediate benefits.

Between this years, there was a weekend when they met. They were talking one or two hours about their histories.

The baker friend asked the another one to go home and try to fix his computer. The second friend went thinking to help his friend, he tried and he fixed that computer, he spent about three or four hours on that fixing.

The next day, at morning the friend who was studying went to the bakery's friend, he requested two pieces of bread, he really thought his friend will invite him due to the work of the previous day but his friend said "this costs 3€, please".

The student friend get so angry and told: "Do you really want to be paid? Don't you remember the work done yesterday"

And the baker friend replied: "Oh! really! I want to be paid, the work you done yesterday had no cost for you!"

The student friend paid and had never talked again to his old friend never.

Eigth years after,  the student has become a computer engineer, he lives in a rented house but has enough money to go to other countries, to travel around his own country, he has free time to go out with his girlfriend...

Eigth years after, the baker friend is still a baker and works very much to earn his money, day and night.



That story is based in my own experience. I'm not the baker friend.
Right now I'm on the roof of my house with my PC and a very cool beer, my old friend should be working, I think.
