What is self-improvement? It is a continuous struggle with ourselves to keep ourselves well aligned physically, mentally and emotionally. It is something that we have to pursue every day.
Dear friend, here is a story that will be of enormous value for your process of improvement and development.
As I put some sugar in my coffee, in the warm atmosphere of the restaurant, a strong blast of cold air came in as someone opened the door. This made me reflect on how comfortable I felt inside, while the snow and the cold wind of the night overwhelmed those who were going home outside.


When I instinctively looked at the door, I was surprised to see the figure of Esteban, indisputably a failed and poorly dressed man. With unusual talent, like a good artist, he had acquired the philosophy of not giving importance to money; therefore, it was known that he always walked around with empty pockets. 

Seeing it, I admired. It looked better; even poorly dressed, there was something new in his eyes. It was common for all of us to avoid his presence because he always tried to take advantage of people: loans, free meals, etc. When I least expected it, he was already heading to my table and without asking permission, he sat down next to me. My surprise increased when he asked me: -What do you want for dinner? Ask for what you want and don't stop for the price. I couldn't get out of my amazement, when he was already ordering coffee for both of us. With a confident smile, he told me: don't worry, I'll pay the bill.
Very intrigued, I asked him: -Have you inherited from a distant uncle?-
-No, I found the answer to all my problems- I answer calmly, bringing the cup of coffee closer to his lips.
After the first sip he added:
-I notice you surprised and it doesn't surprise me, because I myself still haven't gotten out of my astonishment. Now I am a new man, different; A drastic change has happened in my life in the last few hours. How many times have you seen me arrive here, penniless, "cheating" a cup of coffee to the first person I saw? I know that's why you avoided my eyes when I arrived, and it's not that you didn't want to buy me coffee or dinner. The truth is that you may not have the money to do it.
At that moment the waiter arrived and Esteban immediately told him:
_ Let me! I take the account and, with full confidence in what I was doing, I sign both accounts. Then he looked into my eyes, silent and smiling, enjoying my expression impossible to hide.
-Do you know any artist of my line that is just like me?-
-I did not answer.
-Do you think there is something in my profession that I cannot achieve, if I really dedicate myself to it?
-No, you have always been a good reporter, for seven or eight years.
-Have you seen that I sign accounts and charge them to the newspaper where I work?
- No. Never.

-You know, tomorrow my new career starts, I will have a juicy bank account, thanks to the fact that I discovered the secret of success.
