Last night I went to see Leonardo DiCaprio´s last movie: "The wolf of Wall street". As you maybe know the movie is about an ordinary guy who makes himselve a biljonair as a broker on Wallstreet.
Apart from all the sex, drugs and partying, the movie treats about the desire of (almost) everbody to get rich(er). Jordan (Leonardo) and his team are masters in selling actions to ordinary people who think that a "once in a lifetime opportunity" is offered to them.
There was one particular scene that caught my attention and I think we can all benefit from it:

Jordan´s sales team is sitting in a cafe and some members are bragging about their selling abilities. To prove their statements, Jordan takes his pen and gives it to one of his friends and says "sell me a pen".
Instead of promoting it, the friend takes the pen and hides it. After that, he asks Jordan to write down his name on a piece of paper. "I have no pen to write with" says Jordan. "Exactly", says his friend: "NOW I will sell you the pen".
I hope I gave you something to think about! Have a nice day!!
