( i heard this story in one of rabbi wallerstein's shiurim)
there is a story that i heard that demonstrates the point that rav silver / rav frand were trying to make.... there was a big shoe company that opened up and it became very popular in america, because of the success they had in america they decided it would a good idea to send people over seas to sell more shoes. 2 businessmen were sent to africa to sell shoes.. 1 week passed and 1 of the businessmen called and said " book me a flight home, this place is hopeless, no one here wears shoes, no one even knows what they are!" another week passed and the company still had not heard from the other man sent! he called 2 weeks later and was so excited when he got on the phone he screamed " SEND OVER 10000 pairs of shoes NO ONE wears shoes here!!! we need to get everyone a pair!"
2 men looking at 1 picture and saw completely different things... lets be the one who screams " there is no shoes" with a smile =)
