Who is the boss?

  Toot toot...toot toot...it's 7 am and the alarm rings. Rohan's hand involuntarily snoozes the alarm. Not wanting to, to rubs his eyes and the first thing he does is- to check the time. It's 7.22am. He is late. He has to attend a business meeting at 8. He needs to rush. Having a bath quickly, he grabs a couple of toasts and calls his driver to get the car ready. He leaves the house, checking the mails and messages on the way. Curses himself for not picking up a phone from a colleague that would have resulted in a business deal. Disappointed with the loss that he incurred in the morning itself, he reaches the office. Shouts at the clerk for not keeping the files ready. Skips the lunch since an assignment wasn't completed in time. He gets a call where he is invited to dinner with other business people. He has to attend it, cancelling the appointment he had with a doctor. 
    In the same office building is a liftman. Wakes at 7. Reaches office at 8. Gets a lunch break. Leaves at 4pm. Spends time with his family. And enjoys a good sleep. 
    My question is- who's the boss?
    The boss is the one who gets to live his life according to his fancy. Before being able to 'order' others, he should first at least be 'Khud ki marzi ka maalik'. 
    We saw that Rohan was cursing himself for the loss of money that "he could have made profit with". Do note- since there was no profit, he thinks he had a loss. This reminds me of a story-
     A wife was standing at the bus stop. She was on her way home. The buses were so crowded that she couldn't get in.  She ran behind the bus. Trying to chase the bus, halfway through the route, she gives up and decides to walk home.            On reaching home, she tells her husband, "today I saved ₹10". Then she explains the story to him. The husband then replies, "you made a loss of ₹40. You would have saved ₹50 had you run behind a taxi!"
