Everyone has probably heard the saying, * I have never been hurt by anything I didn't say* Well, heres a story I got from a book that goes with this quote.
A young attorney, just out of law school and beginning his first day on the job, sat down in the comfort of his brand-new office with great sigh of satisfaction. He had worked long and hard to savor such a moment. Then, noticing a prospective client coming toward his door, he began to look busy and energetic. Opening his legal pad and uncapping his pen, he picked up the telephone, cradling it under his chin, he began to write furiously as he said, "Look, Harry, about that amalgamation deal. I think I better run down to the factory and handle it personally. Yes. No. I don't think three million dollars will swing it. We better have Smith from Los Angeles meet us there. Okay. Call you back later."
Hanging up the phone, he put down his pen, looked up at his visitor, stood, extended his hand, and said in his most polite but confident attorney's voice, "Good morning. How might I help you?"
The prospective client replied, "Actually, I'm just here to hook up your phone."
