<\/div>\n
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. <\/span><\/div>\n
Dear friend, here is a story that will be of enormous value for your process of improvement and development. <\/span><\/div>\n
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. <\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

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. <\/span><\/p>\n
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. <\/span><\/div>\n
Very intrigued, I asked him: -Have you inherited from a distant uncle?- <\/span><\/div>\n
-No, I found the answer to all my problems- I answer calmly, bringing the cup of coffee closer to his lips. <\/span><\/div>\n
After the first sip he added:<\/span><\/div>\n
-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. <\/span><\/div>\n
At that moment the waiter arrived and Esteban immediately told him: <\/span><\/div>\n
_ 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. <\/span><\/div>\n
-Do you know any artist of my line that is just like me?- <\/span><\/div>\n
-I did not answer. <\/span><\/div>\n
-Do you think there is something in my profession that I cannot achieve, if I really dedicate myself to it?<\/span><\/div>\n
-No, you have always been a good reporter, for seven or eight years. <\/span><\/div>\n
-Have you seen that I sign accounts and charge them to the newspaper where I work?<\/span><\/div>\n
- No. Never. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

-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. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
