Modesty pays. part 2.

   After examining the materials available, Tom appreciated Rick for the wonderful creations that he had. There were two chandeliers which Tom liked too much. He ordered to get them packed willingly. After some initial chat with Rick, Tom introduced himself fully to Rick. Tom was a builder whose job was to purchase real estate and build flats and apartments on it. Later on the built up flats and apartments were sold to new customers.

    It was a big business, and Tom was a millionaire. Rick was very impressed to hear all this. Tom quite fascinated with Rick's dealing, made an offer. He offered Rick to be his partner. Rick was curious about the type of work that he had to perform. Tom told him that Rick would supply him chandeliers for every flat and apartment that Tom built. Giving away the possession of the apartment fitted with a chandelier will very soon become an USP- unique selling proposition, and increase the sale of apartments. Rick also liked the offer as it would also expand his business. Both of them agreed to it and shook hands in conformity. 

   The deal was done and there was a certain rate by which Rick would be paid for each chandelier. Initially Tom ordered for a dozen of them and gave a cheque to him. Surprised by the amount Rick looked up and thanked god, for everything that was happening. The cheque was for 5000 $, which was indeed a big amount for Rick. Tom said that he would contact Rick over the phone for the next order. He gave his card for the delivery address. In the evening when Rick went home, he bought a cake for his mother and sister. 

    He told them that he signed a big contract with an entrepreneur and hence received such a big amount. His mother and sister were quite happy. Finally they congratulated Rick for his achievement. Rick was too happy as this development was a step forward in the direction of his dreams. Both the staff of his shop rejoiced at his happening, Rick ordered a couple of pastries for them as he didn't want them to feel neglected. Rick along with his staff, went a step further and added some more glamour to the shop. They added a few more accessories to the shop o make it beautiful. It was only because of Rick's modesty that they reached such a breakthrough.

    This continued for a long time as Rick kept on receiving orders from Tom and minted a lot of money from this deal. So, if a person is humble and modest, there is nothing impossible for him in this material world. Honesty and modesty are a couple of traits in human personality which could lead one to the pinnacle of success.
