The Story : SELLING COMB TO THE MONKS ; ========================================== There was one company " manufacturing combs "which intends to expand its business and so the management wanted to employ a new Sales Manager . The company ADVERTISED the vacancy in the newspaper . They are so many peoples turned up for the interview everyday ....accumulated to almost a hundred peoples in just few days .. The Company now having the problem to choose the right candidate for this position . So , The Company interviewer had set A Difficult Task to whom who want to come for final interview .

He was very delighted and straight away ordered 1,000 pieces . The End of Story . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MORAL OF THE STORY ; ==================== HARVARD UNIVERSITY had done a research that says :- 1) 85% of success is due to attitude and 15% is capability . 2) Attitude is more important than intelligence , specials skills and luck . In another word , professional knowledge only constitutes for 15% of success of a person and 85% is due to self-cultivation , public relation and adaptability ability . Still remember the story of Selling Shoes to African ? When 2 Salesmen were sent to that continent , One of them reported : Can not do it . No one wears shoes there? The second saleman said : It is good to market . A lot of opportunity . Success and Failure is dependant on how we face problems . My dear friends , Do you know eagle lives up to about 70 of age? But when it reach about 40 yrs old , it claws start to age and can not grab the preys . It also can not fly as well . So , it is time for the eagle to make a choice ; wait for the death or goes through a renewal process . If it choose to live , it must try its best flying to the top of the hill . On the hill top / summit , it will stay for 150 days . Over the top , it will hits it feathers to the stone so that they will drop and wait for the new ones to grow . After the feathers have grown enough which is about 150 days , it will continue its balance for 30 years life. Remember , When the economic is good , there are peoples going bankrupt . When business is bad , there are many new millionaires produced as well . So , apply now the 85% right working attitude fully. All the best !
