A Tale Of Two Shoe Salesmen

A Tale Of Two Shoe Salesmen

Many years ago, two salesmen from very different companies were sent to a remote third-world island, to find out if there was any market for shoes sales. 


Upon arrival, they each noticed that none of the locals were wearing shoes... They were all barefooted. 




Salesman 1 immediately called his company, and said, "This is terrible! No one here wears shoes! There is no market here!" 




Salesman 2 also called his company immediately, and said, "This is fantastic! No one here wears shoes! There is a huge market here!"

Moral: In any situation, what do you choose to focus on? The problem, or the opportunity? Sometimes, we fail to see the opportunities because we are focusing on the problems!
