    For a year I have been using the services of a company to do my all my business cards, but for some reason the owner has always disliked me. I don't know why but he always treated me with disrespect and has always been rather rude. I don't know why I kept going back to that same company everytime I needed cards done.

    I try my best to be courteous to people around me - even if I am at the point I wanna give up on people. There are bad days where I do lose my temper.

    Today when I was there in that shop, the man saw my logo on my business shirt, and asked what I do, so I said I am a webdesigner. He then proceeded to ask me website-related questions and thankfully I was able to answer him.

    Guess what happened? He then later said he was looking for a webdesigner and told me he did not want to get hosting or design by any other company but ME! All of a sudden I was like his new best friend. I was at his shop from 1 pm and ended up being there talking to him a good 4 hours.

    Not only that, but the guy beside me waiting for some prints to be done was so impressed, he too wants me to be his webhost. So I scored 2 clients in one go just because I kept going back to that same shop.

    God works in mysterious ways.

    There just can't possibly be any morale to this story other than this: Everything is random, things don't happen for a reason :D

    Nice story :cool:

    Here's another one - may be sometimes we misinterpret what other people think of us tend to assume the worse :)

    There is a reason to everything, whether we see it or not.

    Latest update on this story. I had to get 2 more sets of business cards today so I went back to the guy. I just scored another project from the guy today and I was even able to help him solve some ftp issues he was having.
    We chatted for a good 2 hours non business so it was pretty cool. Another client saw him giving me a contract so he asked me for my business card. We'll see how that goes.
