Falling

One Wednesday morning, a salesman arrived late with one eye swollen shut, his left arm in a sling, and his clothes in tatters."It's 10:00," pointed out the sales manager, "and you were supposed to be here by 9:00."The salesman explained, "I fell out of a tenth story window." The sales manager snorted and remarked, "And what, it took you a whole hour to land?"
Moral of the story.  True sales professionals know that sales is a tough racket.   You can't let little things get you down.   No matter what, full speed ahead.
