(Part 4): The "Volunteer Prince"
A very successful businessman, was attending an exclusive function one
evening, and found himself in a conversation with a member of a very
wealthy royal family, who was also attending the function. The young
prince, who would one day be king asked the businessman, about his work,
and his life. The businessman responded by talking passionately about
his vision, his values, his work and his
philanthropic and charitable activities. The prince listened very
intently, and for a long time, asking many questions.
The following day, the prince called the businessman, with an unusual proposal:
"Do you think, it would be possible for me to come and work, for you,
for a few years, as a volunteer? I believe this experience would be very

engineering, and marketing. Also you would not have to pay me, anything.
And it does not matter what position, you give me; even to be your
driver is fine. "
