The Essential Qualitiy for Becoming an Achiever
A city boy, Kenny, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. The next day the farmer drove up and said, Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the donkey died last night. Kenny replied: Well then, just give me my money back. The farmer said:Can't do that. I went and spent it already. Kenny said: OK then, just unload the donkey. The farmer asked: What ya gonna do with him? Kenny: I'm going to raffle him off. Note: To raffle is to sell a thing by lottery - draw lot - to a group of people each paying the same amount for a ticket) Farmer: You can't raffle off a dead donkey! Kenny: Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead. A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, What happened with that dead donkey? Kenny: I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898.00. Farmer: Didn't anyone complain? Kenny: Just the guy who won. So I gave him back his two dollars. Kenny grew up and eventually became the chairman of Enron.
