We live in a judgmental society. It sucks. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that everyone is judgmental, but a handful of people are. That’s the harsh truth. Often times, it comes down to the way one looks or dresses. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I’m here to tell you one thing and one thing only: It shouldn’t matter. You should NEVER judge people by the way they dress.
Recently, a Thai man reinforced that value when he went around several motorbike dealerships while dressed in a dirty oversized T-shirt, worn-out plain pants and slippers. Because of his appearance, the sales people ignored him assuming he couldn’t afford to pay for the superbikes sold.
So, he went from one shop to another until finally, he received attention and friendly treatment from a big bike shop. Within 10 minutes, the man made up his mind and said, ‘I’ll have that one!’ He then whipped out 600,000 baht (RM75,147) from his baggy pants and paid for the Harley Davidson. Everybody was stunned that he had that amount of money with him.
The story instantly went viral after the man’s elder sister took it to social media. According to his sister, the humble man is known as Lung Decha. He is an honest and hard-working mechanic who has partially retired from work. He doesn’t smoke, drink nor gamble. After working hard for his whole life, he decided to use his savings to get himself a nice bike that he has been dreaming about.
According to a source, the elder man later went back to the store again to have some customized features done to his brand new Harley. But this time around, he was all smiles and was dressed in biker fashion. Awww!
This man reminded everyone NOT to judge a book by its cover!
