As I told you already I uploaded my little children's story to the MarketPlace and now it is in my virtual store. And whenever I go to visit my virtual store in my heart I thank to all of you who supported me and helped me to get my dream become reality. And also many little memories come to my mind.

All this little memories have to do with my parent's little store that they run when I was a little girl.

When I was doing my doctorate, there was a stage where I had to interview several companies' CEO. Of course not so easy to get an appointment with these busy people, and also not so easy to persuade them to answer to my questions. I had to phone several times to the secretaries of these people, and it took quite a while till I got an actual appointment. And when I was already sitting at the office of a given CEO, I had to be very efficient in order to get all the answers I wanted to get.

At one time, I was sitting in a cozy office of a CEO, his name was Bill, and there was already quite a time left, and that nice guy still haven't answered even one of my questions. We had a very nice conversation about Bill's children, about his wife, about his friends... From time to time I was looking at my watch and I was terrified that so much time left and I still couldn't start my interview.

Whenever I wanted to start asking one of my questions from my well prepared questionnaire [that I already sent a copy to that guy's secretary]... Bill started another lengthy story about his family. And after some time, Bill stand up, extended to me his hand for a good by hand shaking... and I stood there startled. When he saw my terrified face, Bill started to laugh and told me: Koty I already answered to all of your questions of your questionnaire. I gave it to my secretary... you can get it from her when you leave my office. You know, this company is exist because when we there was times that we had trouble getting raw material your father was the man who always helped us out. You thought that I will every forget that?
