What my wife’s rejection taught me about self-worth –

My wife Emma has always had a unique sense of style. The way she

combines her outfits brings admiration from everyone who knows her,

as well as passersby. Her self-confidence is truly inspiring.

One day, however, she started questioning her beauty after she was humiliated by a clerk from a lingerie store.

Namely, Emma saw a sign that the store, which she loved because

of the products they offered, as well as the luxurious display window, was hiring.

She was already looking for a job, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity.

Excited and hopeful, she entered the store and greeted the store assistant, who didn’t appear welcoming.

Emma asked how she could apply for the job, and the sales assistant

looked her up and down with a sneer before delivering the blow: “Look,

I don’t think you’re pretty enough for this job. NO CHANCE. Don’t even try.”

These words have shaken Emma’s self-confidence.

When she came home, she was in tears.

My wife felt devastated, and so did I. I couldn’t believe someone could

be so heartless as to tell someone they are ugly right in their face.

At that moment, I was so angry that I decided to teach that sell assistant a lesson.

I called my friend Mike, a handsome man who works as a talent scout,

and told him about what had happened. He was in for a sweet revenge,

so we headed to the store the following day, making sure that same sell-assistant was there.

When we entered, Mike introduced himself, and I pretended to be buying

something. He talked to her about modeling and told her how he was looking for a new face for an upcoming campaign.

She appeared eager to make a good impression, groomed herself and struck poses,

but after some time, just when Emma entered the store, Mike told the sell assistant,

“Sorry, you are not what we are looking for.” He then turned to Emma, pretending

to see her for the first time in his life, and said, “Miss,

have you ever considered working as a model? You would be the perfect fit.”

Emma smiled, and the sales assistant was mad to receive a taste of her own medicine.

We all left the store, and while Emma felt a bit sorry for the woman, I knew she deserved it.

I wanted Emma to learn that her self-worth and self-confidence came from within and not from what others think of her.
