Story No.27
Life is not all roses.
- That's it! I've decided today that I am quitting this job!
- If you say so, but that's sad!
- As I see it I'm not cut out for sales, I'm not good at talking and I'm actually fed up with bowing my head in front of customers I don't like.
- Well, then what's next? If you do not like sales, then would you want to be an engineer?
- I think I want to be a company president.
- What? Are you out of your mind? What kind of company president? Do you think that just by wanting to be one, you will become one just like that?
- I want to start my own company. I want to sell Chinese diet tea.
- How do you think you can sell Chinese tea when you say that you're not good at sales? How absurd!
- No! This tea will definitely sell! Once they know how tasty this tea is, it will sell in this Diet trend society!
- Don't be so sure!
- Surely it'll do well! Around next year, my income will be around 10 Million! I'll be driving a convertible and I'll hire a pretty secretary.
- Life is not so simple and straightforward! Things don't always go according to plan.
- That's not true! You'll be used by your boss forever because you won't take any kind of action, you'll just think about it! I want to open a Chinese diet tea shop in Manhattan!
- Are you serious?
