There is a small shop about 200 meters from where I live that sells groceries, meat and other basic necessities. About 10 years ago, there was a beggar who would go into the shop every day and ask the owner for a
36 . The owner,
37 he would love to help, simply didn’t have any jobs available, so he kept
38 the man’s request.
This situation continued
39 for a few months, until the owner
40 to give the homeless man a job which
41 sweeping outside the shop. Every single day from 5 am, the homeless man was there doing the very
42 he could for the
43 , even though it did earn him some pennies.
44 , the owner saw how good a job the man was doing and gave him a job working
45 a cashier. He was watched closely to make sure that he didn’t
46 any of the money received from the sales. He was still homeless, after all. The homeless man did a/an
47 job as a cashier for over 2 years, and did such a good job that he was promoted to
48 the finances for the whole shop.
To my
49 , this was the arrangement up until 2 years ago, when the owner
50 . In his will, he only had one
51 , to give the whole shop to the now stable, “homeless” man. Now, I could walk into that shop and see him working as hard as
52 , with his own business that is still
53 and active 10 years after getting his job as a sweeper.
From this story, we can probably get the inspiration: work hard and give everything your best effort, even if it isn’t your
54 situation, it very well may turn out to
55 some day in the future.
