My friend Tunde is the kind of person who believes confidence can solve anything. No experience? Confidence. No qualifications? Confidence. No sense? Extra confidence. π One Monday morning, he called me. "Guy! I have finally found a job!" I was shocked. "Seriously?" "Yes!" "Where?" "I don't know yet." π "Then how did you find a job?" "I found the confidence first. The job will follow." ππ Two days later, Tunde saw a poster: "Urgently Needed: Personal Assistant." He immediately rushed to the office. The receptionist asked: "Do you have experience?" Tunde smiled. "I have potential." πππ The receptionist somehow allowed him to meet the boss. The boss looked serious. "What can you do?" Tunde leaned forward. "Sir, what do you need done?" The boss replied: "I need someone who can organize schedules." "I can learn." "Manage emails." "I can learn." "Prepare reports." "I can learn." "Handle clients." "I can learn." The boss stared. "So what exactly can you do now?" Tunde smiled proudly. "I can learn very fast." ππ For reasons nobody understands, the boss told him to come back the next day. Tunde returned wearing a borrowed suit that was two sizes too big. The sleeves looked like curtains. π The boss handed him a stack of files. "Arrange these alphabetically." Simple. Easy. Basic. Or so we thought. Tunde spent three hours arranging them by color. π The boss came back. "What is this?" "Organization." "These are not alphabetical." "They are aesthetically pleasing." ππππ The boss nearly fainted. Then came the biggest disaster. A client arrived. The boss was unavailable. Tunde decided to help. Client: "Can I speak with the manager?" Tunde: "Absolutely." Client: "Where is he?" Tunde: "Busy." Client: "When will he return?" Tunde: "Eventually." πππ The client blinked. "Eventually?" "Yes." "Can you be more specific?" Tunde thought for a moment. "Definitely." πππ By lunchtime, the boss called him into the office. Tunde was sure he was about to be fired. Instead, the boss asked: "Why are you like this?" π Even Tunde didn't know. Then the boss started laughing. Actual laughing. Tears in his eyes. He said: "In twenty years of business, I have never met anyone with this much confidence." Tunde smiled. "Thank you, sir." "That wasn't a compliment." πππ Then came the twist. The boss didn't fire him. Instead, he moved him to marketing. "Your confidence is dangerous in administration, but it might help in sales." Three months later, Tunde became one of the company's best marketers. Why? Because whenever customers said: "Can your product solve my problem?" He would confidently reply: "It can learn very fast." ππππ And somehow, people kept buying. π€£ Funny Lesson: Confidence is important.
