They were the first company to introduce electronic clocks in the world. After its introduction, the company was ruling the electronic clock market. But, now, their market share had declined because number of its competitors started to produce and market electronic clocks efficiently. The head of the company worried about the company’s performance said, “Our product share in the market are crippling day by day. Though, we make good investment, our competitors are having upper hand.” The chief organised an urgent meeting in which top official and number of employees of the company were invited prepare agenda to alleviate their failures.

On the day of meeting, an employee of the company reached the meeting venue an hour late. His employer knowing his frequent late arrivals for past one month strictly directed: “You professionalism is worst and you don’t value anything for the company. But, I give you last chance! If you were able provide best idea to our discussion, you could have a place in the company, otherwise, renounce the job!”

Fearing about his future, the employee was standing outside the room. The security at the meeting hall to have a friendly chat, sought the reason for his dejected mood. “I usually rise early in the morning before an hour when my neighbouring church-bell hits. But, for past one month, I leave my bed only when the church-bell rings. I have become too lazy these days. It created a problem to me.” The watchman as a friendly exchange of joke expressed: “If the church-bell was inside your clock, you might have got up early during those days” and chuckled.
The conversation kindled an idea in employee’s mind which sprouted as “Alarm clock” and explaining his creativity, his job became secure and company’s picked up towards higher profit margin.

“Creativity” and “awareness to opportunity” aids life equivalent to what education might provide.
