"Do you listen?"


Charlie ran a full-service gas station. He did a great business and really took care of his customers. One of his customers was Kendall. Kendall was under lots of pressure at work. His business was just a few blocks from Charlie’s station and Kendall would walk down to Charlie’s to vent when the pressure was just too much. Kendall would feel better and go back to work.

Well, one day the oil company that owned the property Charlie’s station was on came to him and told him that he had to convert his full-service station into a convenient mart or his lease wouldn’t be renewed. Charlie didn’t have the money for the conversion. The lease wasn’t renewed and Charlie was out of a job.

So he went to see his friend Kendall, all depressed by the situation, hoping he could vent this time. He did. Kendall listened patiently and then offered Charlie a job. Charlie took it, and is still works with Kendall to this day, making more than he ever imagined when he owned the service station.

What goes around, truly comes around when you listen to life.
