2. How all began…
My name is Iurnan Mungan SMITE.
I was born in the year of our Lord 1917 in Kirkmichael a small but
hardy village, 76 miles outside Edinburgh.
My parents...well that's a bit of a long shot, my father was a
blacksmith, as his father was before him and my mother a
dressmaker. We always wondered where i got my talents
from.
When the time came, as i was entering my 16'th year of life, a
dream was shaping in my head…
My goal was to reach London. And I did…after 3 years!
3. How all began…
I finally got a job…delivering The Financial Times to the
rich and powerful…door by door, as was the custom
in those times.
After a while my boss asked me if I knew other
youngsters that could deliver the newspaper.
And I said yes…of course i knew others, but with one
condition…to have me coordinating all of them.
In 1 year I had a team of 25 lads, in all of London.
4. How all began…
3 years after, here I was running my very own firm of
delivery boys with 75 boys and 3 door to door
distribution contracts, everything was going smooth
as butter.
One day, one of the newspaper bosses asked me if I
could handle the organization of a public event.
Guess what? i could, the hell if i could not…but with
one condition…to write an article about my business
in his newspaper.
39. IM Smite thinking:
1. Always be punctual for a meeting
2. Keep your client happy and relaxed…he will pay the bills in
time
3. Clients are your partners not your bosses
4. If you have a pertinent opinion say it. Otherwise keep your
mouth shut and listen. You may learn something
5. Trust God with your life but not with your choices
