Senya and the multiplicative social effect. A story.
Senya learned that the kids, going out for a walk in the yard, periodically run up to the cafe-confectionery and look through the glass of the showcase inside the cafe. Or they go to the food market, pass through the market, looking at the goods laid out on the shelves.
After some thought, Senya decided to start repairing the apartment.
He ordered the delivery of materials for repairs through a special service and went out into the yard for a walk.
Suddenly people, his neighbors in the yard, approached him, with sincere words of gratitude and with expressions of admiration.
It turned out that they also began repairs - in their own apartment, and the delivery service employees, having driven up to the house, and having asked the local residents where to deliver the goods for repairs, and having received erroneous explanations, brought the materials for repairs to a completely different apartment - and not to the apartment of Senya.
The kids at that time looked from the street through the glass of the showcase into the cafe-confectionery. On the contrary, the neighbors, preoccupied with repairs, were nearby and right in the middle of the yard were expressing their gratitude to Senya.
This whole scene was very helpful. Senya's generosity was clearly confirmed for the whole yard.
Senya immediately reoriented the delivery service to a new address.
Of course, the renovation of one's own apartment was postponed for a while. But, in return, no one can accuse Senya of being tight-fisted, lacking generosity and he was unwillingness to help others, that he had a lack of caring.
The new situation is also a convenient excuse for the kids to acquire additional work skills, to be distracted from observing the cafe-confectionery and counters in the food market. Someday the renovation of their own apartment will begin ... And the kids by that time will be the enough skilled persons to make repairs ...
A real master of education turns even the mistakes of the delivery service to the benefit of the kids! Senya knows how to benefit from any turn of events! A multiplicative social effect!
