There’s a story about a man from a small town who wore the same pair of shoes every day for 10 years. They were the only shoes he ever purchased and he loved them with everything he had. Although they were torn, beaten, and effectively useless, the man never replaced them.
Everyone in the town figured he couldn’t afford a nice pair of shoes, so one day, members of the community pooled their money together and bought the nicest kicks on the market. They were name-brand, super comfortable and stylish, and would make the man run faster and jump higher.
