What do a taxi, a hairdresser and a hat seller in Shoreditch market have in common with an adult training?

For me, they’re all places where I’ve had a life-changing lesson. While this is normally what you look for in training, the other cases are pure serendipity!
🎩And the lesson that I most use in my daily business today is undoubtedly that of the hat salesman.
We were in London for a friend’s 30th birthday and we took the opportunity to wander around the market in Shoreditch. The opportunity to stop and try things on, just to see how they fit, until I started trying on some rather (eccentric) hats.
When the salesman came to confirm what both my wife and I thought, that it suited me very well, I told him « Yes, but you have to find the right opportunity to wear such a hat ».
And he snapped back: « No no, you have to create the opportunity for that! »
I left without the hat but with a new mantra:
➡️Don’t wait for opportunities to happen, create them.
🥸Today, I’ve got the moustache, I’m just missing the hat. And guess what? My birthday is coming soon, and this time I’m going to buy myself a hat that reflects me (in short: a bit eccentric, yeah…) !
❓I’m curious, where have you received your most unexpected life-changing lessons?
