Don't Judge D Book By Its Cover

This morning i went out, buying a 3 quarter pants with affordable price, it look quite cool n its just fit me nicely.. however, if i manage to get a better cut on my waist, it gonna b a lot better (^_^)

Right after that, i went to d market n do groceries before i went to repair my shoes. That man, in his red old rags.. sitting on a small chair with his tools.. waiting patiently for costumers. i step up onto him and wanted to ask him if he could repair my shoes. However, before i could reach him, there's another family get his services first. Then they went to nearby restaurant and enjoyed their delicious lunch as i sat there, beside the shoe maker.

I waited.. and waited.. d magazine i was holding surely get bored of my face because i keep re-read them all over again. Not to mention i am extremely sleepy by that time but i couldn't sleep because of the circumstances. And there they go, i waited until about an hour just to repair my shoes.. omg! i was totally pissed off because he wasted an hour of my time!

When he finally touch my sneakers, i talked to him caused i am interested when he mention about "business" to the last costumer. Shock me not, the way he talked is very convincing, although he did only barely finished his primary school but i bet if he dressed up like a corporate person, nobody will know he is just a shoe maker.

What interest me more was the later, he said that nobody will be poor if they have business because the main objective of a business is to get profit. However, they are some people who went bankrupt but that is merely because of two reason. First, they did NOT choose a right path to keep their business in check and second, it's god's will.

When i asked him about the fuel price keep increasing, does it would affect the business? He just smiled and said, it would affect the business and profit, that is why we have to increase our sales. And to increase our sales, it's just the matter of price and volume. Okay, fair enough, why would someone with his level of knowledge sat there, repairing other people shoes? The answer is.. it's merely a time killer.. in a day, he would be there about three to four hours and accumulated time in a month is around 120 hours but he can get more than rm 1k per month just for 120 hours of work. Aside from that, he do have side business which is ran by his children.. i was like (=_=")

Heck, if business could be this easy, then why should we work for others? THINK ABOUT IT
