Job Seekers

A reporter from The Guardian decided to try and get from Folkstone to London without a phone or money.  Wow, what a challenge, I think, trying hard not to skim read and get to the next article before I fall asleep.  But it's not as daft as it seems.  He based the idea on a reality show where 2 blokes travel a long way (was it round the world?) relying on the good people he met to help him.  As it turns out, they were successful, and so was he, but he had help from one of the aforementioned shows participants, and if I read between the lines correctly, it's not the good human nature that made them successful, it was the sheer blazon cheekiness of asking for things and eventually getting it.  What this tells you about human nature is debatable, but proves to me that if you are prepared to go out of your way to get something you will be successful, but only if you rely on an awful lot of people giving something up for you.  Just like most businesses really.
