My Newspaper Vendor

My newspaper vendor, Jack, sends newspapers to my house every morning around 7am, rain or shine. A week ago, I noticed a young Indian boy riding on a motorcycle accompanying Jack on his rounds throwing the daily newspapers into my car porch. I though Jack is going to retire from his newspaper business.

Jack told me that he has just hired this Indian boy to deliver newspapers to his existing clients and he is going to invest his time to develop new clients in a nearby new housing estate.

To become more successful, we too have to move on into a bigger playing field from time to time, engage others to help expand your business.

Newspaper Vendor

At around 12 midnight, I was driving home after attending a dinner party and I saw a tired and sleepy old man selling newspapers along the roadside. I stopped by and bought newspapers from him. I said, "Uncle, it's raining heavily and there won't be many people passing by and buy newspaper from you. You should go home and sleep early."

This newspaper vendor uncle quipped, "I will stay till1.30am. I cannot fail my customers. My customers will be very disappointed if they don't see me here."

Yes, are you committed to your customers? Customers are the people who offer you a comfortable lifestyle. They will take away your lifestyle if you don't take good care of them.
