Character and Wisdom is moreimportant than skills

At the interview to fill the vacancy of a Field Engineer in a multinational oil company, two competent and qualified Engineers were short listed and the company

was to decide on who to hire and who to fire.
They asked them If they could drive and they both answered in the affirmative even though only one of them could drive.
The Head of the Human Resources spearheading the interview cum pruning session then handed his car keys to them to prove their driving skills within the premises.
The over-confident applicant collected the car key, opened the car, switched on the ignition, lighted it up, sped off, swirled, swerved and made some stunts on wheels and before parking the car on the same spot to the seeming rousing applause
and mischievously knowing smile of the
interviewers.
The other applicant who could not drive collected the key all the same, opened the car, opened the bonnet, checked the engine oil level, the brake fluid level, the gear oil level and the level of the water in the radiator.
As he closed the bonnet, the chief interviewer walked towards him and said: "Don't bother driving, you've just been hired!"
Caution (character & wisdom) is more powerful than skills!
Direction is more important than speed!
How well you go is more necessary than how far you go!
