On November 9th 1965, there was a wide spread power outage that darkened eight states in the North East US, and portions of Ontario and Quebec in eastern Canada – covering 80,000 square miles and affecting 30 million people.
With no electricity lights, candles were in great demand. An announcer on a New York radio station that stayed on air because it has axillary power reported, ‘An interesting drama is being unfolded on our streets.’ The price of candles in many stores has doubled. On the other hand, some good hearted merchants are offering their candles at half – price, or even giving them away.
Some store owners let their concern in the hour of emergency outweigh their desire for personal gain. However, others took advantage of the situation and put their personal gain ahead of their concern for others.
The very same circumstances produced both self-seeking opportunists and self-philanthropists. If we had a situation just like this one today, how would you react? For similar principles to this, get yourself a copy of ‘AWAKEN THE FINANCIAL GENIUS IN YOU’ at your nearest outlet.
