One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After the cut he
asked about his bill and the barber replies, ‘ I cannot accept money
from you. I’m doing community service this week. ‘ The florist was
pleased and left the shop.
When the barber goes to open his shop the next morning there is a
‘ thank you ‘ card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door..

you ‘ card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.
Later that day, a college professor comes in for a haircut, and when

you ‘ card and a dozen different books, such as ‘ How to Improve
Your Business ‘ and ‘ Becoming More Successful. ‘
Then, a Member of Parliament comes in for a haircut , and when he goes
to pay his bill the barber again replies, ‘ I cannot accept money from

And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between
