The Egyptian Aspirant
Once there was an Egyptian girl who applied for a job. She was not given a job because of her appearance. She changed her appearance and went somewhere else. But she didn't get a job because of her age. She thought of borrowing some money from a friend and bought some new good clothes. Then she applied again in a farther place where there are jobs available. Her application was rejected again. She thought of converting to a different religion so she can easily find a job. She did. She applied anew, but her application was not accepted.
She didn't give up. She is not a religious person, but believes there is a God of humans and that the God exists to help humans help themselves.
One day, she went to a job fair. Seeing her credentials by some employers present, they were enthusiastic of hiring her. One entry was shown there on her papers that she is an ex-convict. And they changed their minds.
She is already leaving the fair when one young lady greeted her and said, "Why do you look so sad?"
The Egyptian girl showed her papers to the young lady and said, "I was not hired because of my previous undesirable record."
The young lady asked again, "Do they know the real story why you were incarcerated for commiting such an offense?"
The Egyptian girl replied, "No, they don't. Just be good to yourself and to everybody! Someday, the God of humans will award you with something better... much better than you wish for. Good luck to you in your journey and in all your endeavors in life!"
