CHANGING TIMES
On his way to work every day, a man walked past a clock-maker’s store. He would ritualistically stop outside and synchronize his watch with the clock that stood in the window of the clock-maker’s shop. Observing this routine, the clock-maker one day struck up a conversation with the man and asked him what kind of work he did. The man timidly confessed that he worked as the timekeeper at the nearby factory, and that his malfunctioning watch necessitated daily readjustment. Since it was his job to ring the closing bell every day at 4:00 p.m., he synchronized his watch with the clock every morning to guarantee precision. The clock-maker, even more embarrassed than the timekeeper, said, “I hate to tell you this, but my clock doesn’t work very well either, and I have been adjusting it to the bell that I hear every afternoon from the factory at 4:00 p.m.!
