Have you ever been in desperate need of money and of course you have placed all your hopes on ATMs. Many times we might go somewhere with little cash, hoping that we will withdraw from the ATMs around the area, dissapointedly , we realized that nothing works out at the end of the day.
I happened to be in an area few months ago to withdraw. It was disappointing that like five ATM stands around that area were not working. People were hopping from one ATM stand to the other.
The most disappointing of them all was that the banks in that area have closed for that day. Gush!!! I was so confused and devastated not because I was in urgent need of the money but because it was raining and I wasted transport fare going there; this hard economy .
While I was mourning and sucking over my own loss, another woman was more devastated than I was because she doesn't even have a penny to go home and her husband was waiting for at a distance hoping she would come back with money.
As confused as everyone were, a man who came to shield himself from the rain suggested a good idea. He had some money with him that could go round for everyone. He told them since they cannot withdraw, he will give some cash to those who really need the money and they will do a transfer into his bank account.
What a fantastic idea!!! He did a good thing for them by suggesting that brilliant idea. And it worked out. They did the transfer and left happily.
Sometimes this is what one should do when banks and ATMs fail us. Meet someone and suggest this idea to them and you will never be stranded instead of whining and cursing banks for their incapability to provide good services. We should sometimes look for solutions in solving little problems.
At times the angle we look at things might not be the right angle, try viewing that thing from another angle and we will see that the solution is right in front of us.
Thanks for your time and I hope this article will help us especially when we are in urgent need of money.
