A Matter of Business

Shimmy  works in sales in a business in Manhattan. Recently they hired a new employee, Gershon, to be part of the sales team in the business. Gershon was from Lakewood and had been learning until now. He was new to the business world. After getting acquainted, Gershon asked Shimmy to help him navigate the waters in "sales". At first Shimmy was hesitant to teach Gershon all the "tricks of the trade", after all they were competitors. After thinking it through Shimmy said to himself. "Everything comes from Hashem. Helping Gershon will not diminish my sales. Hashem decides how much money I'm going to make."

Shimmy approached Gershon and taught him everything he knew about being in sales. He taught him all his  tricks that he had spent years developing. Whenever Gershon had any questions he would approach Shimmy.

Two weeks later Shimmy was summoned to his boss's office. "Shimmy, I just want to let you know that you have been doing a superb job and we are promoting you to become head of sales!"

Sandy the Shadchan

A Hurricane Sandy story sent in by a friend of mine:

The Feldman family live in an area which was severely affected by the storm. They decided to go out of town for a few days to some family of theirs living elsewhere.While they were there, a name came up for a Shidduch for one of the Feldman girls. The boy was learning in that same town where they had been "camping out" for a few days. The Feldmans decided that since they were already in that town , let them go out. (normally, they would not have necessarily agreed to send their daughter all the way there)...and the rest as they say is HISTORY!!!!

Baruch Hashem they got engaged last week!!!

Watch Out Below

It was in the middle of a Sunday afternoon and my brother was upstairs in his house. Suddenly, he heard a loud crash coming from downstairs.  Quickly running downstairs he saw that a huge part of the ceiling above the living room fell. My brothers kids were playing all over the house. HP no one was in the living room at that time. Baruch Hashem no one was hurt. (Just a big mess) IT'S ALL HP!!!

A Sneak Peak into my thoughts:

"Its freezing.....I need to buy a coat....its freezing....my finger is hurting a lot.......its freezing......I need to get an x-ray of my finger.......I really don't want to get an x-ray of my finger.....its Kibbud Em....but I really have no time to go....and its freezing....I really need a coat...how am I supposed to make an appointment to have an x-ray if I work from 9-5......and its freezing...fine I'll make the appointment.....I've never been to this doctor.......it might take two hours to wait......k, I got the appointment....I'm missing work...........ucccchhhh...............and its freezing......and I need a coat.....and now I have to drive a half hour to the doctor to get an x-ray........its 2:30 in the afternoon I could be at work now but here I am sitting in a waiting room for a half hour already....................one hour...........an hour and a half........two hours....finally they call me.......its 4:30....why did they call me back if now I have to wait another hour in a room all by myself.......there are exactly 246 tiles on the floor and 224 on the ceiling........can someone please come already to take my  x-ray.........yay a nurse finally appears......got my x-ray........now I'm waiting AGAIN, this time for the doctor.....10 minutes....30 minutes.....now I'm really bored.........i finished counting tiles.....and  memorizing the poster on the wall with each of the bones and its names............5:45 the Doctor walks in......he's the 7th person in the last 3 hours to ask me how I hurt my finger......playing basketball, playing basketball, playing basketball..... x7...........wow, what an x-ray! Is that my finger?  .........my finger is in two.......wow its really broken........when I do something I do it all the way.......yay I could go home now.....work is over...its really late.......its freeeezing....I really need a coat.....

There's a mall near the doctors office. Since I didn't need to rush back to work I decided to stop off at the mall to BUY A COAT. I went to Lord and Taylor......HP all the coats were 60% off only that day. I got a really nice coat for a really good price!
HP for the broken finger, HP I went to that doctor, HP I had to wait a few hours, HP I went to the mall, HP I got a coat......

One final thought......THANK YOU HASHEM! IT'S ALL HP! 


THERE IS  ALWAYS A POSITIVE SIDE TO EVERYTHING!
