Management Lesson (V)

A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, "This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you."

The barber puts a five rupee coin in one hand and two one rupee coins (1+1=2) in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, "Which do you want, son?"

The boy takes the two one rupee coins and leaves.

"What did I tell you?" said the barber. "That kid never learns!". Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store. "Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take two one rupee coins instead of five rupee coin?" The boy licked his cone and replied: "Because the day I take the five rupee coin, the game will be over"

Moral: Don't want to win much once (and to lose the customer) instead to keep winning less during a long time (and keeping the customer for the life) or When you think the other person is dumb, you are making a fool of yourself.
