What is this Favor Bank?
“You know. Everyone knows.”
It was an American writer who first mentioned it & then it was by Paulo Cohelo in his novel “The Zahir”. It’s the most powerful bank in the world, and you’ll find it in every sphere of life.
Salman, An up coming talent, knows that, one day, he’ll be very influential for that he work with honesty, dedication & devotion but he will no longer have the energy he once had, but he want to help Sameer because he can’t or isn’t dreaming about retirement, he is still dreaming about the fascinating struggle that is life, power, and glory.
Salman start making deposits in Sameer’s account—not cash deposits, you understand, but contacts. He introduces Sameer to such-and-such a person, Salman arrange certain deals, as long as they’re legal. Salman know that Sameer owes him/her something, but he never ask for anything.”
“And then one day…”
“Exactly. One day, I’ll ask you for a favor and you could, of course, say no, but you’re conscious of being in my debt. You do what I ask, I continue to help you, and other people see that you’re a decent, loyal sort of person and so they too make deposits in your account—always in the form of contacts, because this world is made up of contacts and nothing else. They too will one day ask you for a favor, and you will respect and help the people who have helped you, and, in time, you’ll have spread your net worldwide, you’ll know everyone you need to know and your influence will keep on growing.”
“Sameer could refuse to do what Salman ask him to do.”
“Ofcourse, The Favor Bank is a risky investment, just like any other bank. You refuse to grant the favor I asked you, in the belief that I helped you because you deserved to be helped, because you’re the best and everyone should automatically recognize your talent.
Or
Fine, I can say thank you very much and will ask someone else into whose account I’ve also made various deposits; but from then on, everyone knows, without me having to say a word, that you are not to be trusted.
“You’ll grow only half as much as you could have grown, and certainly not as much as you would have liked to. At a certain point, your life will begin to decline, you will be half-happy and half-sad, neither frustrated nor fulfilled. You will be neither cold nor hot.
MORAL OF THE STORY: You need to tread carefully, to build up a relationship, to make a deposit in the Favor.
