$ 500,000 Check

A businessman's business had gone bad.Whatever he did was not happening. He was once a big businessman. Now the only big thing was the businessman's debts. On the one hand, banks lending loans were pressing the businessman. On the other hand, the company could not pay the salaries of its employees.

He was very overwhelmed.He had to find a solution. However, he was'nt  finding solution.

He went to a park to get some head rest. He sat down on a bench, took his head in his hands. He started thinking about how to get out of this situation.

At that moment, an old man stopped in front of him. 

"You are looking very sad. It is obvious that something is bothering you. Would you like to share it with me?" the old man asked.

The businessman told the old man that his business was broken. He said he could not pay his debts and he was having a hard time. 

The old man, after listening to the businessman:

He said 'I can help you'.

He pulled out his checkbook. He asked the name of the businessman and wrote him a check. While handing the check to him, he said:

"This check  is yours. When we meet you here a year later, you pay what you owe me.Come on, take this." Said the old man. And the old man disappeared quickly as he came. 

The businessman looked at the check in his hand. It was $ 500,000 on the check, and the signature belonged to John Rockefeller, the richest man in the world for that day.

He thought, 'I can pay all my debts immediately'.

With this John Rockefeller check, he could figure it all out. But he stopped cashing the check. He put this valuable check in his safe. He embraced his business again with brand new optimism, confident that he was in his safe.

He started evaluating all the works, big and small. He restructured his payment plans. Well-done jobs gave birth to new jobs. A few months later he was able to get things right again.

In the months that followed, he got rid of his debts completely and even started to make money.He worked for an entire year. Exactly one year later, he went to the park with a check intact

He waited for the agreed time to arrive. Just in time he saw the old man speeding toward him. Just as he was about to give him his check back and share his success story, a nurse came running and caught the man.

"I am very glad I found the old man. I hope this man did not bother you." said the nurse.'Because this old man is constantly running away from the nursing home and coming to this park. He tells everyone he is John Rockfeller." She added. 

The nurse took the man's arm and walked away with him. The businessman stood there, confused. He was as if it was frozen. He had bought, done, and sold things all year, believing he had half a million dollars behind him.

He suddenly realized that it wasn't money that changed the course of his life.He was the confidence and belief that he found in himself again that changed his life.
