What if I was the type of person who knew what I wanted and went out and bought it and was, almost always, happy with my choice?

What if I owned a little store and a customer came in to buy something small but could not make up her mind and spent 2 hours asking me my opinion and trying to choose and finally left empty-handed only to return another day with three friends and agonzied over the choice but once again could not decide and on the third visit returned with her son and husband and struggled and strained for hours more but still could not make up her mind?

What if instead of judging her for all of my time she took up with her lack of self-confidence, I appreciated her for the gift she gave me of feeling fortunate to have my confidence?
