UNLOCKING THE GATES TO SUCCESS

Unlocking the Gates to Success ~ 67 ~ UNLOCKING THE GATES TO SUCCESS The guest struggled desperately to open the lock, and as he went on and on twisting and twisting and turning the key, and trying to jerk the lock open, his vexation finally turned to fury. “This lock is defective!” he shouted to anyone who cared to listen. Then he muttered under his breath that his host had been a fool to buy such a lock. The next to have his wrath vented on it was the lock-making industry, which produced worthless goods, not caring whether they worked or not and not caring whether people were put to trouble or not. Their business was only to make money out of unsuspecting consumers! By this time he was at the end of his tether and had decided he was going to break it open with a hammer. Just then, his host arrived and tried the key in the lock himself. “Oh, I’m so sorry!” he exclaimed.” I quite forgot I had changed this lock, but I just momentarily forgot, and gave you the wrong key.” He then produced the right key and the lock opened instantly. So the guest’s ire had been quite misdirected and he had ultimately achieved nothing by it except reduce himself to a state of utter exhaustion.
