A Hotdog Story for REAL MAN in midst of the storm
This story is about a man who once upon a time was selling hotdogs by the roadside.
He was illiterate, so he never read newspapers.
He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the radio.
His eyes were weak, so he never watched television.
But enthusiastically, he sold lots of hotdogs.
He was smart enough to offer some attractive schemes to increase his sales.
His sales and profit went up.
He ordered more and more raw material and buns and use to sale more.
He recruited few more supporting staff to serve more customers.
He started offering home deliveries. Eventually he got himself a bigger and better stove.
As his business was growing, the son, who had recently graduated from College, joined his father.
Then one day, the son asked, "Dad, aren't you aware of the great recession that is coming our way?"
The father replied, "No, but tell me about it." The son said, "The international situation is terrible.
The domestic situation is even worse.. We should be prepared for the coming bad times."
The man thought that since his son had been to college, read the papers, listened to the radio and watched TV.
He ought to know and his advice should not be taken lightly.
So the next day onwards, to be careful, the father cut down his raw material order and buns, took down the colourful signboard,
removed the special schemes and packages he was offering to the customers and was beginning to look and feel woeful everyday worrying about the coming recession...
He reduced his staff strength by sacking people even though his hotdog business needed them.
His customers could feel all these measures he took and the worried and unhappy people serving them. Very soon, fewer and fewer people bothered to stop at his hotdog stand.
And his sales started coming down rapidly, so did his profit.
The father said to his son, "Son, you were right".
"We ARE in the middle of a recession and crisis. I am glad you warned me ahead of time!"
Moral of The Story: It's all in your MIND! And we actually FUEL this recession much more than we think we do!!!!!!!!!!!!
