You must have heard various motivational stories, some real life some fiction. I came across one such story and the very fact that i am writing on it spells how virtuous this motivational story is.
The story is about a guy who is finding a job of his interest but isn't getting an opportunity because he some reason or the other and then something like this happens -
One fine day, fed up of his unproductive unlimited attempts this guy knocks the door of Mayor of his State (Mr. White) and narrates him the journey so far and his interest in becoming a Radio Jockey.
Mr. white tells the guy, if you want to do anything worthwhile in life, You got to be HUNGRY! and advises him to keep working upon himself to which the guy replies - but i have no job sir !
Mr. White - It doesn't matter, its better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one than have one and not be prepared. Thy guy started developing himself day and night.
In the meanwhile, he started applying for jobs afresh and reaches a very famous Radio company's office and meets the boss named Mr. Ball.
Guy - Hello Mr. Ball ! i would like to get the job of a radio jockey. Mr. Ball looks at him and asks "Do you have any experience?, Do you have any journalism background?". Guy - No sir!
Mr. Ball - Sorry, we don't have any openings right now.
This guy, sad and depressed (how it feels when one is depressed - In Deep Waters) returns to mayor and tells him what all had happened. Mayor tells the guy, you should not be worrying, some people in life are so negative that they would say 'no' 10 times before a 'yes', so back again.
The next day, this guy goes back again.
Guy - Hello, Mr. Ball. How are you?
Mr. Ball - What do you want?
Guy- I would like to know whether or not you have jobs of a radio jockey?
Mr. Ball - Didnt i just tell you yesterday, we have no jobs.
Guy - I know sir, i just came in to check if some was laid off or fired.
Mr. Ball - No one was laid off or fired. Now, would you leave.
Pumped by mayor's words the guy turns up again next morning at the company.
Guy - Hello, Mr. Ball. How are you?
Mr. Ball - What do you want now?
Guy- I would like to know whether or not you have jobs of a radio jockey?
Mr. Ball - Didnt i just tell you last two days, we have no jobs.
Guy - I know sir, i just came in to check if some was got sick or died.
Mr. Ball - No one got sick or died. Now, get out of here.
Following the principle of 'It's Not Over Till I Win', the guy goes back the next morning and meet the boss as if he was seeing him for the first time.
Guy - Hello, Mr. Ball. How are you?
Mr. Ball looked at him with rage and said - Go get me some coffee.
Guy - Yes Sir ! :D
After that he kept serving him lunch and coffee. As and when he could sneak in, the guy would into radio jockey's rooms and gain whatever he could without any help.
2 months later, a popular RJ fell sick during the show and could not complete his show. The Boss calls at office and tells this guy to contact other RJ s and arrange someone in shortest time possible.
The guy calls up his family and girlfriend and tells them he is about to be On Air in next 20 min. The guy then calls up boss and tells him none of the RJs are responding. Boss, as expected by the guy, asks him if he could take up the mic for this show. Guy says - Yes Sir! and he was HUNGRY!
The guy had waited all his life for this chance and finally he got one because all this while he was HUNGRY!
