After a few unpleasant events, something positive arrived.
Recent economic conditions give rise to numerous individuals engaging in the outdoor sales industry. They stand on the streets from morning till night looking for potential clients. Their job is to offer, persuade, tout every passer-by to sign up a membership, apply for a credit card or buy a product.
He approached me with a smile. “good morning sir, I am from HSBC….”
Before he could continue, I cut in “I’m sorry, I am unemployed so I am not eligible for any of your banking services.”
“oh..” he looked disappointed but more apologetic. In a spilt second, he responded “Are you looking for a job? Our company is having a road show next week. If you like to leave me your telephone number, they could contact you.”
It came so unexpectedly, that someone could demonstrate such kindness to a stranger. It is really nice to know that some people do share solidarity with others. I regain my hope. The sky suddenly does not look so grey anymore.
