Good morning The CEO of a major Mumbai bank got his shoes polished every day from the shoeshine man at the street corner. He would sit on a chair usually reading the Economic Times as he got his shoes polished. One fine morning, the shoeshine man asks the CEO: "What do you think of the stock market situation?" The CEO condescendingly inquires: "Why are you so interested in this subject?" The shoeshine man replies: "I have 200 crore rupees deposited in your bank and I am thinking about investing part of the money in the stock market" The CEO smirkingly says: "Yeah right! What is your name?" Shoeshine man replies: "Asaf Kutty Chacko ” Upon returning to his bank, the bemused CEO asks the Account Manager: "Do we have a customer named *Asaf Kutty Chacko*?" The Manager replies: “We certainly do. He is an esteemed customer! He has 200 crore rupees in his account.” The CEO is shocked! The next day, when getting a shoeshine, the CEO says to shoeshine man: "Mr. Chacko, I want to invite you to be our guest-of-honour at our Board meeting next week and tell us your life story. I'm sure we will learn a lot.” The following week, at the Board meeting, the CEO introduces shoeshine man to the board members: "We all know Mr. Asaf Kutty Chacko, who makes our shoes shine like no one else. But he is also our valued customer with 200 crore rupees in his account. I invited him to share his life story. I'm sure it will be inspirational. Please, Mr. Chacko, do tell". Asaf Kutty narrates his life story: "I came to this state 30 years ago as a young boy from Kerala…. I wandered hungry and exhausted in search of a job without success…. Suddenly, I found a coin on the sidewalk and bought some apples…. I had two options: eat the apples to quell my hunger or start a business…. I sold the apples and bought more apples with the money…. This way I started accumulating money… With the saved money, I managed to buy a set of used brushes and shoe polish and started a shoe shine businesss….. I lived frugally and didn't spend any money on fun or worldly trappings. I lived like a monk and saved every paisa I could…. After a while, I managed to buy new brushes, variety of polish and a chair so that my clients could sit comfortably…. I continued living frugally and saving all I could… Then, a few years ago, I was able to purchase this nice corner location from another colleague who decided to retire….. . . . Finally, about three months ago, my brother, who was a drug-dealer in Kochi, passed away and left me 200 crores ….” . . . . This is just a campaign to promote reading. Reading stimulates the mind and imagination! So stop listening to unbelievable stories and start reading something of literary merit. #Gyanwithsmile Have a nice day!!! 😎😄😎😄😎 Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android <https://mail.onelink.me/107872968?pid=nativeplacement&c=Global_Acquisition_YMktg_315_Internal_EmailSignature&af_sub1=Acquisition&af_sub2=Global_YMktg&af_sub3=&af_sub4=100000604&af_sub5=EmailSignature__Static_> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iyer123" group.
