This story happened when Lincoln owned a grocery shop. One day, he realised that his customer had forgotten to bring home the tea he bought. He then quickly closed the shop and send the tea leaves to the customer personally.
On another occasion, he realised that he made mistakes when returning some change to customer. Again, he closed the shop and returned the remaining change to his customer.
Finally, his shop was closed and he went bankrupt. Therefore he needs to auction off his horse carriage to pay off debt. A farmer brought the carriage and returned it to him, saying: "A good man should not went through misfortune, I believe that God will help you".
Indeed, ten years later, he became U.S president.
If other people wish for your success, then you definitely will achieve it. But when others wish for your failure, then you will fail for sure.
My parents always remind me that a business often depends on many elements to succeed. One of the elements is the people we deal with (that includes customer, suppliers and even our competitors).
Furthermore, the supports from other people can turn someones failure into success. Lets improve our attitudes toward everybody and help others. Every small thing like what Lincoln did in the story will definitely brighten our future.
Can we all do it starting from tomorrow?
