An Unexpected Twist



An Unexpected Twist
Mr. Smith was excited about playing the lottery. Unfortunately, he hasn't won even £1 for a long time. He felt devastated and gutted every time he saw the results. However, he always tried to calm down and said, “No news is good news.”
One day, his heart told him to buy one more ticket. Could you imagine Mr. Smith’s reaction, when he knew that he hit the jackpot? His heart was pounding and the man was in jubilant mood. Mr. Smith wore his heart on his sleeve. He couldn’t suppress his feelings. The man disclosed that news to his nearest and dearest. There was a stunned silence because everyone was gobsmacked. However, in a minute they were over the moon.
A month later, Mr. Smith decided to set up his own business. By the way, he took an interest in reading. That’s why he wanted to connect both these spheres. First of all, he consulted an expert, who suggested him to open a book cafe. “It will also have a positive impact on your future savings, which will be by-product of this business,” mentioned the expert. That piece of advice did wonders for his plan and his career gradually started taking off.
Nowadays, Mr. Smith’s business is booming. He has more than three hundred book cafes around the world. They have an interesting design because all the cafe buildings look like ordinary houses. However, when you come in, you can see an amazing interior, with thousands books on the shelves. He says, “A book cafe is a right place for people, who don’t want to absorb bad vibes. Here you can reduce stress after a tense working day, loosen up, drink a cup of hot tea or coffee, and just read a book, where all your problems have already been put into words. So, probably, if you connect yourself with a character of a book, you will find an appropriate way how to solve your problem.”
All in all, Mr. Smith lives his life to the fullest. He travels a lot, brings new books to his cafes, and sometimes… buys a lottery tickets, but just for fun.

  1. If to disclose my innermost thoughts I am really jubilant for Mr. Smith. I suppose his motto is: “Success at any cost, no matter what difficulties you encounter in your life”. My heart tells me that this man is really persistent and resilient. I am happy that he is prosperous and affluent now. In addition, I am sure that actions speak louder than words and Mr. Smith proved us that. His success was not a contingency but a reward for his patience.

  2. This story proves a proverb: "Better late than never". It is not necessarily to achieve everything you want when you try to do something for the first time. If you make a real effort to accomplish some tasks it will guarantee that you will definitely on the ball in the future. We shouldn`t think that our mishaps are never-ending but we should keep in mind that all our efforts will be rewarded.

  3. Mr.Smith's example proves that you can never tell when luck will be on your side. The most important thing to bear in mind is that you should stick to your goals and never give up. When you are eagerly anticipating something it will happen sooner or later. By the way, it is good that Mr. Smith used his jackpot wisely and opened a book cafe, instead of squandering his money like most people do.

  4. If I were Mr. Smith I wouldn’t even try to suppress my feelings having hit the jackpot. Definitely, I would be over the moon. Money talks and I would anticipate getting many opportunities how to spend it with pleasure. I wouldn’t stifle my wishes and probably just squander money. However, I’m happy that Mr. Smith was prudent enough to spend his money beneficially.

  5. I can only imagine how hysterical and jubilant was Mr. Smith having hit the jackpot. To be honest, I'm jealous a little bit of him. I would be euphotic in such a situation. Actually, if you are prosperous you have more advantages in this life than those who are impoverished. I'm happy that Mr. Smith didn't just squander his money but spend the jackpot wisely.
    By the way, have you tried to play the lottery?
