The hardworking blacksmith used to work all day in his shop and he was so hard-working that at times he would make the sparks fly from his hammer.The son of Mr.Smith, a rich neighbor, used to come to see the blacksmith every day.And for hours and hours he would enjoy watching how the man worked.“Young man, why don't you try to learn to make shoe tacks, even if it is only to pa the time?” The blacksmith asked, “One day, it may help you.”

The lazy boy began to see what he could do.But after a little practice, he found that he was becoming very skilled and soon he could make some of the finest tacks.Old Mr.Smith died and the son lost all his goods because of the war.He had to leave home and was forced to take up residence in another

country.It happened in this village, there were numerous shoemakers.They were spending a lot of money to buy tacks for their shoes.Although they paid high prices, they were not always able to get what they wanted, because in that part of the country there was a high demand for soldier shoes.Our young Mr.Smith, who was finding it difficult to earn his daily bread, remembered that once upon a time he had learned the art of making tacks.He had the sudden idea of making a bargain with the shoemakers.He told them that he would make the tacks if they would help to get him settled in his own workshop.The shoemakers were only too glad of the offer.And after a while, Mr.Smith found that he was soon making the finest tacks in the village.“How funny it seems,” he used to say, “Even making tacks can bring a fortune.My trade is more useful to me than all my former riches.”

If the young Smith refused to learn to make tacks, this tiring skill when he was rich, how can he keep alive while he lost everything?

A small decision may change your life.
