KILL YOUR EGO

Once there was a scientist. After a lot of practice &
efforts, he developed a formula & learned the art of
reproducing himself. He did it so perfectly that it was
impossible to tell the reproduction from the original.
One day while doing his research, he realized that the
Angel of Death was searching for him.
In order to remain alive he reproduced a dozen copies
of himself. The reproduction was so similar that all of
them looked exactly like him.
Now when this Angel of Death came down, he was at
a loss to know which of the thirteen before him was
the original scientist, & confused, he left them all
alone & returned to heaven.
But, not for long, for being an expert in human
nature, the Angel came up with a clever idea.
He said to the scientist addressing all thirteen of
them, "Sir, you must be a genius to have succeeded
in making such perfect reproduction formula of
yourself. However, I have discovered a flaw in your
work, just one tiny little flaw."
The scientist immediately jumped out & shouted,
"Impossible! Where is the flaw?"
"Right here" said the Angel, as he picked up the
scientist from among the reproductions & carried him
off...
