Nobody likes you require. But sometimes it is not necessary? I'll tell you a story.
The architect had designed a splendid building. For weeks, hundreds of men hauled the materials. The best wood in the forest, giant granite blocks as hard as diamond, marble slabs of crimson as the sun at dusk or jade green and bright, huge stone monoliths ... Naturally for such a project, the emperor had chosen the best architect of all. No plans as he did. No one knew better than he the mystery of the angles of lines, or the art of distributing massive weights on pilasters and columns.
But the architect was shy and did not want to contradict anyone.
- Where do we draw the monolith? - Asked a builder.
- Where? ... which seems good to you - said the architect did not want to look bad to anyone.
- And the columns ... - Said another worker - Here are OK?
- Yes, yes, of course! - Replied the architect in spite of hearing how the foundations tremble.
- Can we put the block marble above the roof to make it look good? - He asked a construction worker who knew nothing of buildings.
- Excellent idea! - Said the architect without much regard to the groans could be heard in the rafters.
The building was completed and the builders said: - What architect so nice! How nice! Much respect he has for us!
- is a great man - one of them said solemnly. I've never found an architect who has so much respect for our opinions. That should be all our heads! And while saying this, the huge temple collapsed and buried them all.
before judge do not forget the history of the architect.
