Final Answer

Final Answer By Curtis Johnson Must we always expect a “Yes” for our every endeavor? It is as though we are constantly saying, “Motivate me. Adjust me. Amend me. But please don’t say “No” to me!” Just what is it about “No” that we do not understand? Not looking for a new motto, I was cleaning an office building. Like typical businesses do, this company was seeking to increase sales. My business was office cleaning, and I was toiling to finish and go home. That is, until I was arrested and captured by nine words on a marker board. For several weeks, I observed these words that were worthy of note. The nine word sentence was very useful as motivational tools to enhance sales and the bottom line. Every week I stared at these words thinking, “I can most certainly utilize this motto at some point in my life and profession”. It was some time prior to November 18, 2009 that I first noticed the sales motto that said, “Never take ‘no’ until you have heard it twice”. On the above date, I was even more drawn by three similar though different magical words on the board. It appeared that something interesting had happened between the first time I noticed the nine words and the day I saw the three words. Perhaps sales had dropped, requiring new motivational adjustments. An amendment to the motto read, “Never Take No”. 08182015 ( recorded 11182009 )
