King Midas was granted a wish that everything he touched would turn to gold.
Once he touched a river, his food, his beloved daughter and a few other things, he realized somethings are better off untouched. Or some things are more valuable than gold.
King Sadim, Midas' little known twin brother, had a slightly different approach.
He only touched golden things.
He only spoke to the share holders about the good things that his workers were producing.
He only shared about the selflessness of his leadership in such a way that emphasized the importance of it.
When others put in hours of agonizing over just the right approach for the presentation to the assembled masses, he diffused the significance of the moment by making an off hand joke.
He got to the right answer that was best for him without ever allowing for much discussion.
In the end Midas, learned that giving up gold makes one richer.
I suppose the twist for Sadim might be that in touching only gold he never got to feel faith.
In giving up his power to touch only gold, what do you suppose a Sadim might gain?
