Success story of a Canteen boy in a High Court

His story describes "Power of Serving and Power of Seeking Cooperation".

You have to invest by serving. Then you are entitled to seek cooperation. Once you get cooperation, many doors of opportunity open up for you.

This boy was a canteen boy in Delhi High Court. His job was simply to take orders from lawyers and to serve them well.

This is not an easy job. During 1pm to 2pm, in court recess lawyers run into canteen.

They want to be served fast. Because they have again a case at 2.00pm in court.

The lawyers are tense. There are too many lawyers at this peak time.

Too little waiters. The chaos is daily.

Well, this boy did his job well. Lawyers were happy with his skills of serving them fast and promptly.

They were pleased with him.

Here came the chance of canteen boy to seek cooperation from lawyers to fulfil his personal ambitions.

Some lawyers are very influential. Their one word of recommendation is enough.

The boy saw some opportunity. He requested one lawyer to recommend his name. He got a catering contract.

Today, he is one of top caterers of Delhi and he owns a chain of banquet halls in Delhi.

His principles seems to be 1) Invest in people by serving them with good hospitality, and then 2) Seek their cooperation for your own requirements.
