Like most city folks, we get off from work to go to the supermarket hastily, zooming past and ignoring every counter’s salesperson reaching out to you to buy their credit cards or mobile network…
…until…
“Adelaine!” he shouted. I had already walked 5 steps past his counter, but I stopped and turned my head to him, thinking that he was an acquaintance, so I didn’t want to be rude, not realising that my name was printed on my shirt.
It was only seconds after that did I realise that we didn’t know each other but he caught my name on my shirt in a heartbeat as I hurried past him, knowing he could get my attention that way.
That really is THE BEST salesmanship, don’t you agree? He completely took my guard away, and the only way I could applaud his great work was to stay and listen to what he had to sell.
Turns out that Arunan – a self-acclaimed “tall, dark, and handsome man” – has inspired me to care less about being a city folk and more about underprivileged children around my country and my world. Instead of paying tax, we could pay a little each month and change children’s lives forever.
Thank you, Arunan, for changing mine…
