So I had a conversation with a millionaire.

I was walking down to the store from my apartment and as i gear closer to the storefront, there’s this Mercedes parked out front, I proceed to hold the door of the store open for the people exiting and entering, before I enter my self.

I was stopped by one of the bystanders exiting the store, he thanked me for holding the door and asked me “do small gestures of kindness satisfy you?”

I replied “no, I was just raised to be a gentleman, you know hold the door, be polite to pregnant women give them your seat, etc etc”

His final response to me was “don’t ever settle for what you aren't worth.”

I’m sitting here confused because it happened so quickly, am I missing something here?

Whether he was a millionaire or not is irrelevant and not sure why that was what some people are focused on but I think he was saying that all people have value whether they are rich or poor and that you should never listen to anyone who tries to devalue you because your worth to the world is minute in comparison of how you see your own value. When he asked you if small gestures satisfy you, he was attempting to see where your heart is and what makes you tick. Just my interpretation.

Nah I’m not going to listen to the guy driving the beat up Honda about life advice, he’s no position to do so.

But the guy in the Benz, yeah drop fun facts, I’m listening and taking notes.

My heart is good, but do I enjoy being polite for the fuck of it? Not really sometimes it’s forced @Fungirlmmm

@Dateless I like the polite side of you better btw. ;)

And I understand how some people look at it, but I know several people worth millions and they actually do not drive fancy cars. My former boyfriend, for example, has a net worth of about somewhere between 4 and 5 million. He has always driven Ford trucks and he doesn't get a new one every year. Sometimes you can't judge a book by its cover.
