In Sheer Appreciation of the ability to sell
A keen immigrant Indian Marwadi lad applied for a salesman's job at London 's premier downtown department store. In fact, it was the biggest store in the world - you could get anything there.The boss asked him, "Have you ever been a salesman before?""Yes sir, I was a salesman in India ", replied the lad.The boss liked the cut of him and said, "You can start tomorrow and I'll come and see you."The day was long and arduous for the young man, but he got through it. And finally 6:00 PM came around. The boss duly fronted up and asked, "How many sales did you make today?""Sir, Just ONE sale." said the young salesman."Only one sale?" blurted the boss, "No! No! You see here, most of my staff make 20 or 30 sales a day. "If you want to keep this job, you'd better bedoing better than just one sale. By the way "How much was the sale worth?"= 93300534.00 pounds" said the young Marwadi."What"," How did you manage that?" asked the flabbergasted boss.
"Well", said the salesman, "This man came in and I sold him a small fish hook, then a medium hook and finally a really large hook. Then I sell him newfishing rod and some fishing gear. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast. So I told him he'd be needing a boat, so Itook him down to the boat department and sold him that twenty-foot schooner with the twin engines. Then he said his Volkswagen probably wouldn't beable to pull it, so I took him to our automotive department and sold him that new Deluxe 4X4 Blazer.I then asked him where he'll be staying, and since he had no accommodation, I took him to camping department and sold him one of those new igloo6-sleeper camper tents. Then the guy said, while we're at it, I should throw in about $100 worth of groceries and two cases of beer.
The boss took two steps back and asked in astonishment, "You sold all that to a guy who came in for a fish hook!!""No" answered the salesman, "he came in to buy a box of Sanitary Napkins for his wife and I said to him, "Sir, Your weekends screwed anyway, you mightas well go fishing.
" Boss - "You sit in my chair....... ."

good message
Quite some time, not posted any words of wisdom, today I got a email which contains one of the best message- Life is a gift...
Today before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out to GOD for a companion.
Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who died too early on this earth.
Before you complain about your children - Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.
Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.
Before whining about the distance you drive -Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - Remember that not one of us is without sin.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and think: you're alive and still around.
Nice message isnt...just contemplate on at your leisure...
