Lack of Resources or Lack of Resourcefulness

Lack of Resources or Lack of Resourcefulness. Bill, a businessman was in debt and couldn’t figure a way out of it. Creditors were pressing him. Suppliers were demanding for a payment.

He was sitting on bench in Central Park with his head down, thinking what could save the company from bankruptcy. Suddenly, an old man appeared in front of him.

“I see something is bothering your sir”, he said.

After bill, the business man, explained about his predicament and possibly bankruptcy, the old man said, “I think I can help you”.

He asked the businessman, what his names was, wrote him a cheque and said…

“Take this money. We will meet here exactly in one year and you will be able to return it to me at that time”.

After that he turned around and disappeared just as suddenly as he appeared.

Bill, saw the cheque in his hands for an amount of 500 thousand US dollars, signed by John Rockefeller, one of the richest men in the world at that time.

“I could end all my problems in no time”, he thought.

But instead the business man decided to put the cheque into his safe. Only one thought about it’s existence gave him the strength to find a solution to save his business.

With the return of his optimism, he concluded profitable deals. Over the next 3 months he got out of debt and started to earn money again.

Exactly one year later, he returned to the park with the same cheque. At the agreed time the old man appeared again.

Just as the old man was approaching Bill, the business man, he was so exited to tell the old man the great news about how he saved his business from bankruptcy and give him back the cheque.

Just as they were about to connect and start talking, a nurse ran up and grabbed the old man, “I’m so glad I caught him”, the nurse exclaimed…

“I hope he wasn’t bothering you sir? He always runs away from the nursing home and tells everyone he is John Rockerfeller”…

The business man was shocked and confused. During the whole year he was wheeling and dealing building his business, buying and selling, convinced he had half a million dollars.

Suddenly he understood that it’s not the money, real or imaginary, that turned his life and business around.

It was his resourcefulness, confidence and belief that gave him strength to achieve everything he has now.
