I have already read this story somewhere , maybe some of you have, too , but for those who haven't , here it is. It's so cute, and so true.

So, Father O Flanagan dies of old age. He comes to the heavenly gate, and there he is was waiting for St. Peter, but there is another person in the queue waiting to go to heaven. There comes Saint Peter and he asks the man:: "What's your name, what have you done in your life?".

The man replies, "My name is Joe Cohen, and I was a taxi driver in New York for 14 years."

"Well, says St. Peter, — here is your silk robe and golden scepter, now you can walk the streets of our Kingdom of Heaven."

Then St. Peter looks at the Father and asks: "What is your name and what have you done in life?"

He proudly says: "I'm Father O Flanagan and I have devoted the last 62 years to the Lord."

"Well, says St. Peter, — here is your cotton robe and wooden staff, you may enter."

"Wait, -says O Flannagan, you gave the taxi driver a silk robe and golden scepter, why did I get a cotton robe and wooden staff?"

"Well, — answered St. Peter,- we base our judgement on the results. While you preached, everyone slept, but when he drove the taxi cab, everybody was praying!"

Let's build our business the way so it will not make our visitors or customers want to sleep or go. Let us aim for results, maybe in less risky ways than that taxi cab driver though...
