Ngeshwa, ngezinye izikhathi sikwenza kube lula ngalabo abanezinjongo ezinonya ukuthi basizakale ngathi, futhi ngisho nehhotela eliqaphela kakhulu ukuphepha lingaba sengcupheni yesela elizinikele. Lapho elinye ihhotela lezinkanyezi ezinhlanu laseNew York lifunga ukuthi ayikho indlela u-Stanton ayengangena ngayo ekamelweni okungelona elakhe, isibonelo, wathatha isiyengo. Wangena ehhotela egqoke ama-flop, izikhindi kanye nesikibha, ephethe isikhwama sasebusuku esandleni, waqonda ezitebhisini, ngoba “akubizi ukuthi ihhotela lifake amakhamera onogada ezitebhisini.” Lapho wakhumula isikibha kanye nama-flop, wajikijela ingubo yokugeza emhlophe futhi wathela ibhodlela lamanzi ekhanda lakhe. Adlulele phansi lapho bekunabasebenzi abahlanzayo emsebenzini, aqonde esicabheni esikhiyiwe anikine ingquza. “Uxolo,” esho komunye wabahlanzi. “Ngizivalele ngaphandle. Ungangingenisa?” Wenza kanjalo.
“Isela elivamile ngeke lingene enkingeni engaka,” uyavuma. Kunalokho, uthi amasela avame ukuba ngosomathuba, ngakho-ke kuyintshisekelo yakho ukuthi ungenzi kube lula ukuthi bakuqole.

3. Sebenzisa into oqhubeka nayo
UStanton uthi: “Ngifaka zonke izinto zami eziyigugu kakhulu kanye nezingubo zokushintsha okungenani eyodwa endleleni engiphatha ngayo, uma kwenzeka ngilahlekelwa omunye umthwalo wami.”

Ulalela igama laso nenombolo yegumbi, bese ebuyela etafuleni ngemva kwemizuzu eyi-10. “Ngiyisoka likaMaria,” uzosho. "UMaria Cruz. Ngashiya isikhwama sami semali ekamelweni. Ungathanda ukuthi ngihambe ngiyoyithatha?" Ngokuvamile, unogada uzohamba nawe lapho, kodwa ngaphambi kokuba ufike, uthi, “Unesikhwama esiluhlaza sakwaSamsonite.” Impela uyalazi, iqiniso olazi kahle kusukela umbuke engena. “Ngishaye unogada ngo-$20,” kusho uStanton, “futhi manje sengiyakwazi ukungena ekamelweni lakho.”
