· Midterm Report by Br. Michael Fernandes




·      Began with an example of a Bank which was not doing well due to the branch managers not reporting the defects of their respective banks. A new CEO did a little of investigation and found out that the weakness and defects of functioning of banks was not reported. As a result the bank was on the verse of being closed. A good and positive report of any organization does help for the growth and success of it.

Story: a carpenter who worked 35 years for a king. One day he announced his retirement to the kind. The king was sad to leave the carpenter as he worked faithfully and sincerely. The king requested him to build for the last time a small house before his retirement. The carpenter accepted. He built the house in a very short period. When the house was ready he handed over the keys of the house to the King. The king in return with a smiled handed over the keys to the carpenter and said this new house was a gift from the king. The carpenter felt bad and sad. He said to himself that if he were to know that he was a building house for himself, he would have used good quality of material and would have taken a long time to construct the house. He used all cheap material.
The message is very clear. Through the midterm report we are leaving behind a legacy and tradition behind for the generations to come.
