Education doesn’t mean good judgment in every reality

There is a story about a man who sold hotdogs by the road. He was illiterate, so he never read newspaper. He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the radio either. His eyes were weak so he never watched television. But enthusiastically he sold lots of hotdogs. His sales and profits went up. He ordered more meat and got himself a bigger and a better stove. As his business was growing, the son who had recently graduated from college joined his father.
Then something strange happened. The son asked “ Dad, aren’t you aware of the great recession that is coming our way?” The father replied, “ No, but tell me about it.” The son said, “ The international situation is terrible. The domestic situation is even worse. We should be prepared for the coming bad times.”
The man thought that since his son had been to college, read the papers and listened to the radio, he ought to know and his advice should not be taken lightly. So the next day, the father cut down his order for the meat and the buns, took down the sign and was no longer as enthusiastic. Very soon fewer and fewer people bothered to stop at his hotdog stand. And his sales started coming down rapidly. The father said to his son, “ Son, you were right. We are now in the middle of recession. I am glad you warned me ahead of time.”
