Doing The Right Thing Always Benefits

There are times when a person doesn't do the right thing in order to gain some temporary benefits and most of the time that person doesn't even intend to do something wrong but he/she simply doesn't understand what do in a particular situation especially when he/she is getting some benefit from that situation but doing the right thing always has its benefits in the long run. I would like to share a story of my childhood friend's father. 

When my friends father was in his teen age he didn't have enough money as he belonged to a lower middle class family and was not educated at all. At that time he use to purchase motorbikes from a different city as they were available for cheap rates there, bring it to his hometown and sell it there to earn a living. After few years when he entered his 20's he rented a small motorbike spare parts shop in a commercial building and started his business, time passed but he was still struggling to make both ends meet. One day the owner of the building died and he had no successors. The tenants who had shops in that building continued their business without paying rent because there was no owner but my friends father despite being uneducated felt that it was totally wrong to continue his business there without paying any rent so he went to the court and informed the court about the situation and deposited the rent in the court so if they may find any successor of the owner they may pay it to him after the transfer of property. He also urged others to do the same but no one listened to him as they were enjoying their business without paying any rent for the premises. The court put an ad in the local newspapers to find any possible successor but no one claimed the property and as my friends father was depositing the rent monthly in the court the court ruled in his favor and made him the owner of the building, all the occupants of the building were shocked and my friends father became a millionaire in a blink of an eye.

Doing the right thing changed my friends father life and fortune forever, had the other occupants also listened to him and deposited the rent in the court they would also have become owners of their own shops but they choose not to and as a result paid the price for it. My friends father despite being uneducated had great sense of right and wrong and what he thought was the right thing to do changed his life and he is a very happy successful businessman now and whatever he earns from that building he give 10% of it for charity on behalf of the deceased owner of the building. This is how doing the right thing always benefit.
