He did it so perfectly that it was merely impossible to differentiate between the copied and the original one.
One day while doing his research, he realised that the Angel of Death was looking for him. Of course, he was terrified and in order to remain alive he produced a dozen copies of himself, exactly like him.
When the Angel of Death came down, he was at a loss to know which of the thirteen before him was the original scientist, and confused, he left them and returned to the heaven.
But not for long, being expert in the human nature, the Angel came out with an idea.
He said to the scientists, addressing all 13 of them.
Angel of Death exclaimed, "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 FLAW."
The original scientist immediately jumped and shouted, "Impossible !!! Where is the flaw??"
"Right here." Replied the Angel of Death as he picked the original scientist among the 13 of them and carried him off.
The whole purpose of the scientist and his formula of reproducing failed as he could not control his PRIDE, so he lost his life.
So when a man's Knowledge and Skills take him to the top of the ladder and make him successful, the three letters word, EGO can pull him down to earth immediately at double speed.
Don't let your Ego Kill you, but instead Kill your Ego.
