Patience

WAIT so you can Believe what you see ......

On walking into the factory, the MD noticed a young guy leaning against the wall, doing nothing.
He approached the young man and calmly said to him, "How much do you earn?"
The young man was quite amazed that he was asked such a personal question, he replied, none the less, "I earn $ 2 000.00 a month, Sir. Why?" Without answering, the MD took out his wallet and removed $6000.00 cash and gave it to the young man and said, "Around here I pay people for working, not for standing around looking pretty! Here is your 3 months salary, now GET OUT and don't come back".

The young man turned around and was quickly out of sight.

Noticing a few onlookers, the MD said in a very upset manner, "And that applies for everybody
in this company".

He approached one of the onlookers and asked him, "Who's the young man that I just fired?"

To which an amazing reply came of, "He was the pizza delivery man, Sir....!"

When we jump to conclusions at the first instance or in the first few minutes of seeing someone or hearing someone, it is but inevitable that we end up jumping to conclusions which can harm us in more than one ways. We may also lose an opportunity to learn/unlearn something. We'll never know what we have missed if we don't have patience to wait and see what is in store for us. Patience is a virtue. Develop it. It pays like nothing else.

When we don't have patience, we SEE what we want to believe. But, the growing happens when our mindset is tuned to Believe what we see or feel.

Think about it.............. Opportunity missed is an opportunity lost - lost for ever....
