Once a customer went to a hotel to rent a room and told the frond desk person, “give me a discounted price on a smoking room. I need some liquor, do you have a bar here?” The customer seemed to be in his mid forties. The FD (front desk person) asked him “are you married sir?” The customer said “No! I’m still a bachelor” The FD asked him why he was not married. The customer told him that all his friends were like him, they are all free birds like him and said that some of them are married but divorced. The FD asked him “don’t you know any one who is married for a lifetime and is happy?” The customer said “The only person I know are my parents, they were married for their life time.” The discussion started. The FD told him not to worry and everything will be fine soon. FD told that they don’t have a license for the liquor bar and thus they hope to get it soon. He asked the FD weather he was married. FD said “no sir not yet”. He asked the FD what was his age. FD told him his age. Then he asked the FD did he have a girl friend. The FD said “no sir not yet”. He started laughing and asked him why didn’t he had one? The FD told him “I’m trying to find one and hope to find one soon”. The FD told him that he had lost all his property. His dad had a heart attack few years back due to a heavy loss in his business. The FD told him that his dad was a business man and was a self made man. He took his own decisions and never discussed any of his business matters with his family members. The FD told him that his dad had close friends who were his childhood classmates. He believed in them. They were all in high, top notch positions, like ministers, bank chairmans, police inspectors, etc. He took loans from them and as the market was in recession he couldn’t pay them back and under pressure he underwent a heart attack. He told him that people tend to follow their leaders as there is no way out. It’s the corrupt system, the miss management which makes them helpless and stuck. When the leaders are corrupt then the followers have no option but to become corrupt. The FD told him that “you should be the role model, just like your parents.” Others should look at you and learn the good things from you. They should be proud of you. Our personalities are carved depending upon the friends and environment we are in. Thus he told him to visit places where in he could find good quality people. Quantity is appreciated when it has quality in it. For an example, let’s imagine how a small kid learns in his initial stages of growth. He looks at his parents, his friends, his teachers, his relatives, etc and tends to learn what he thinks is good for him. How can the kids learn when they are unable to see good personalities around them? He told him to visit places where he can experience peace and calmness, from where he can learn good things. He told him that “for every action there is a equal and opposite reaction”. When we are frustrated and tired we tend to achieve quick relief by giving our self’s to bad addictions and habits. Instead of taking the support of bad ones we should tend to release our frustration by going to calm and quite place, where in the mental pressure can be released. Where in we can find solutions to problems. We tend to think better when our mind is in a relaxed state. He told him why not go to a spiritual place instead of going to a liquor bar. The customer realized it and told the FD that he would be going to a spiritual place where in he could find peace. Thus a FD was able to spread the peace and happiness to one of their customers. The customer thanked the FD for his peaceful stay in the hotel. The hotel was appreciated with customer loyalty.
What happens when “red hot iron” is immersed in “cold water”? It neutralizes, becomes normal, its nature, things always tend to return to the nature. What happens when a calm, gentle, humble and stable person interacts with an arrogant, harsh, rude, and short tempered person? It’s transformation, conversion from one form to another, bad to good. There will be some reaction. It will take some time to neutralize and to retain the normal form. It’s always better and constructive when anger is converted to forgiveness. Arrogance is converted to calmness. Unstable is converted to stable. Fear is converted to hope and joy. Never loose hope in order to achieve a good purpose.
