The Power Of Thoughts
Two friends met each other after a long interval of
time. Both were salesmen, earnestly engaged in
building up their careers. One of them was downcast.
"I'm doing very well," he said ruefully. "Whenever I
go to meet the top man in any office, he is sure to be
out! How can I make my sales prosper? I know this is
going to happen to me again and again. I make my
appointment, I reach on time - but I am sure I will not
meet the person concerned. Invariably, they tell me he
has just left! It's hopeless I tell you!"
His friend replied, "Whenever I go to meet someone
important, I surely expect to find him there! I'm
confident that I can convince him to do business with
me, and I always come away with a successful sale!"
