Make Reading Habit...

Every morning, the CEO of a major bank in Mumbai went to the corner where a shoeshine man was always there.??

He used to sit on the chair, read the Times of India and the shoeshine man gave his shoes a shiny, great look.?

One morning, the shoeshine man asks the CEO "What do you think of the stock market situation?"?

The CEO arrogantly asks him "Why are you so interested in this subject?"?

The shoeshine man replies, "I have twenty crores deposited in your bank and I am thinking about investing part of the money in the stock market."?

The CEO of the bank asks, "What is your name?"?

He replies "Shyam Sunder"?

The CEO arrives at the bank and asks the Manager of the Major Accounts Department "Do we have a customer named Shyam Sunder.?"?

The Customer Service Manager for Major Accounts replies, we certainly do, Sir!??

He is an extremely esteemed customer! *He has twenty crores in his account."*?

The CEO leaves the bank, approaches the shoeshine Man, and says "Mr. Shyam Sunder, I would like to invite you to be our guest of honour at our board meeting next Monday and tell us your life story. I'm sure we will have a lot to learn from you."?

At the board meeting, the CEO introduces him to the board members "We all know Mr. Shyam Sunder, who makes our shoes shine like no one else. But Mr. Shyam Sunder is also our valued customer, with twenty crores in his account.?

I invited him to tell us the story of his life. I'm sure we can learn a lot from him. Please, Mr. Shyam Sunder, tell us your life story."?

Then, Mr. Shyam Sunder began to narrate his story "I came to Maharashtra State twenty years ago as a young man to try my fortune.?The first thing I did was to change my name to Shyam Sunder.?I was hungry and exhausted. I started to wander in search for a job, but without success.?

Suddenly, I found a coin on the sidewalk. I bought some apples.?

I had two options: eat the apples and quench my hunger or start a business. I sold the apples for 50 cents and bought more apples with the money.??

When I started accumulating Rupees, I managed to buy a set of used brushes and shoe polishes and started cleaning shoes.??

I didn't spend a dime on fun or clothes. I only bought bread and cheese to survive.??

I saved rupee by rupee and after a while I bought a new set of brushes and shoe polishes in different shades and colors and increased my clientele.??

I lived like a monk and saved a rupee after rupee. After a while, I managed to buy a chair so that my customers could sit comfortably while I cleaned their shoes, which brought me more customers.??

I didn't spend a dime on the pleasures of life. I kept saving every rupee.??

A few years ago, when the corner shoeshine colleague decided to retire, I had already saved enough money to buy his point, which was a better place than mine.?

Finally, three months ago, my brother, who was a drug dealer in Chandigarh, passed away and left me twenty crores….??

Anyway, this is just a campaign to promote reading!??

Reading stimulates the mind and imagination and helps communication.?
