One afternoon she got a call from Amazon saying she has been selected for a surprise gift this month for being a regular purchaser from amazon(Thanks to her avid book collection, all bought online!).The customer care person from the other side explained her about the gift she has won! “You can choose from any of our 2 gifts madam”, he continued “Either a Laptop or a LED TV.” Soon came her reply in her soothing and happy sound “I don’t need any big gifts, Thank you for your time”. The customer care person at the other end was lil more surprised with her ‘NO’, not even a question about fraud check or further clarifications, he wondered! He tried to persuade her again, “We are offering this gift to only 2 customers and you are one among them”. listening patiently to him, she replied “If that was your product I would have considered, but Gifts..I don’t like to have it from others! I gift myself whatever I need everyday, and that’s the key to my happiness. Would you like to take away that?” she asked in a playful manner.”Sorry madam, have a good day”. She wished him back and disconnected the line!
We all BUY things for ourselves.. but Some people always GIFTS themselves whatever they need! and they have more ‘care’, ‘kindness’ and ‘love’ in their list than ours. Because they treat themselves more special! Their Key to happiness:-)
What is yours??
