One day, after he had been working for this company for about a year, the insurance manager sent to him and said:"Mr Bricks, I have been looking at your records as a salesman in our company, and there is one thing that suprises me about it. Why have you been selling life insurance only to people over 95 years years old? And why you have been giving them such generous 2 conditions? You will ruin our company if you are going to do like that.“ "Oh, no sir", answered Bricks at once". Before I started work, I looked at the figures for deaths in this country during the past 10 years, and I can tell you extremely 3 only few people died at the age of 95 or above each year."
