  • THE LAST lAUGH

Getting ahead

I


t is the first day of a big sa.!.e. at a London boutique. Thanks to lots of
advertising about the low prices, a long .Q..U..!ll1.e. forms in front of the
shop very early in the morning. Just before 8.30, the shop's opening
time, a small man starts pushing his way to the front. The shoppers
begin shouting angrily and throw him 10 the end of the queue. He tries
again, more determined this time. Even more people join in to stop hirn.
He is hit and kicked and thrown to the end of the queue wil h such force
that he falls down.
As he gels up, he says 10 the last person in the queue: " I've had enough!
If they hit me again, I won't open the shop!"

Success is simply a matter of luck.


Just ask anyone who has failed.
