There is a man in a hot air balloon. He never ride it before, but he confident about it. After one hour riding, he realizes he is lost. He spots a man in the field below him and calls down, “excuse me, can you tell me where I am now?”.
The man replies, “you are about 30 feet above this field, you are between 40 and 42 degrees north latitude, and between 58 and 60 west longitude”.
“I’ve promised a friend I’d be meeting him half an hour ago but I’m completely lost. Can you help me?”.
“Where do you planned to meet?”, ask the man.
“He told me, it only took half an hour of riding baloon to get to his place.”
“I am sorry Sir. I can’t help you unless you tell me the coordinate.”
“You must be an engineer” says the balloonist.
“I am!” says the man, “how did you know?”.
The balloonist laughs, “well, everything you’ve told me is so convincing, but I don’t understand what that’s mean, and it’s not really help. I’m still lost.”
“Ah, you’re a manager” says the engineer.
“Indeed I am!” replies the balloonist, “How could you possibly know that?”
“Well…” says the engineer, “you aren’t sure where you’re going, you don’t know where you are, you’ve made a promise you can’t keep, and you expect others to solve your problems. Can you see? You are exactly in the same position as you were before we met, except now you can say that it’s my fault to not helping you out.”
