Zen Master

A professor and an IT millionaire go to the Zen Master in hopes of learning his secret of inner calm

Millionaire: I am ready to give it all up, work as hard as required, please tell me how I can get this calmness that you have. I have worked hard to bring about the change in the world, help people in the way I can.

Professor: My entire life I did not even care about money, I thought knowledge is the only truth that matters and worked on spreading knowledge to everyone I could, I am a good person in search of enlightenment. Tell me how to achieve what you have

After a long uncomfortable silence

Zen Master: The trick is in not caring.

Millionaire and Professor talk amongst themselves to understand what it means and how they should go about it. In the meantime, a young boy carrying a cooler filled Pepsi cans comes towards them, in hopes of selling some Pepsi to the group

Millionaire: I don't care for this materialistic drink anymore, I, now will eat only to sustain myself.

Professor: I won't spoil my body with such sugary poison. I am on course to purify myself.

Bemused, Boy goes towards the zen master, who promptly takes out money and hands it to the boy in exchange for a can of Pepsi.

Millionaire and Professor both are dumbfounded and after a long uncomfortable silence

Zen Master: I didn't care, I was parched so took the drink.
