It so happened that my cousin had placed an order for new sofa sets for the new year. These are not the ready made one's, rather they start the build after we place the order. The cost of 1 3 seater and 2 one seater costs $4500 and an additional 2 seater costs $1500 seater, so the total price comes to $6000. He gave discount of $1000 and the final price was $5000.
Now the delivery time was 2 weeks, but even after 2 weeks there was no updates. So couple of days later we went there to check what had happened. The dealer said except the 2 seater rest are ready. We told him, "We don't need the sofa" and canceled the order and took the one's which were ready and asked him to deduct the amount of the 2 seater ... finally we closed the deal for $5000 - $1500 = $3500 ... A good deal I say!!!
I told this to one of my colleague, he said its the same problem with the tailor, he does not deliver the dress on time. He said he wanted to teach the tailor a lesson, thought for a while and left to a tailoring shop where he had given the order for stitching the suit. The delivery didn't happen on time and he approached the tailor and said, "I don't need the suit anymore ... I cancel the order" and canceled the order. He informed me that he had canceled the stitching order as it was going beyond the delivery date. It actually took him a day for him to understand that there is no loss for the tailor rather it would be him a loser.
Most often we try to correlate several things that happen the same way, but we forget the most important thing ... Time & Place ... Where to use it and when to use it!!! It might be a funny incident but a lot can be learned from the incident. LIFE is just a 4 lettered word, but it makes real sense only when you arrange them in an order L...I...F...E and it should be lived to the fullest when you get a chance.
You've got it now, Live It!!!
