A Jew comes to an inn tired.
There were no rooms available.
Desperate, the man begged the innkeeper who finally admitted there was
one room left but he would have to sleep on a cot sharing the room with a
Russian army officer. The Jew
trembled. "Don’t worry," he was told, "the
Russian is a heavy sleeper."
The Jew asked the innkeeper to wake him early so he could
catch a train and avoid his roommate. A
few hours later he was awakened.
Dressing quickly, the Jew made his way to the train station.
When he arrived people were saluting him. When he climbed onto the train he saw his
reflection in a mirror. He was wearing
an army uniform.
“Darn! The innkeeper woke the wrong man!”
We are different things to different people. It is a matter pf perception. Yet, one thing we must all strive to attain is consistence in self. Be true to who you are.
