بَدَأَتِ الطَّلَبَاتُ تَنْهَالُ عَلَى سَامِي، وَلَمْ يَعُدِ الْمَحَلُّ يَتَّسِعُ لِكُلِّ تِلْكَ الْأَعْمَالِ، فَاقْتَرَحَ عَلَى وَالِدِهِ أَنْ يَنْتَقِلَ إِلَى مَحَلٍّ أَكْبَرَ، وَيَسْتَقْطِبَ أَيْدِيًا عَامِلَةً لِيَتَمَكَّنَ مِنْ تَنْفِيذِ الطَّلَبَاتِ فِي وَقْتِهَا، وَبِجَوْدَةٍ عَالِيَةٍ، فَوَافَقَ وَالِدُهُ عَلَى الْفَوْرِ.

Requests began to pour in, and the shop could no longer handle the volume of work. Sami suggested to his father that they move to a larger space and hire more staff to ensure orders were completed on time and to a high standard. His father agreed immediately.

انْظُرْ عَزِيزِي الْقَارِئَ، مَا هِيَ الْأَيْدِي الْعَامِلَةُ الَّتِي قَامَ بِتَشْغِيلِهَا؟

Consider, dear reader, who exactly were the workers he chose to employ?

لَقَدْ بَحَثَ عَنْ كُلِّ حَالِمٍ حَاصَرَتْ أَحْلَامَهُ الظُّرُوفُ الْقَاهِرَةُ، فَطَلَبَهُ لِيَعْمَلَ مَعَهُ وَيُطَوِّرَ مِنْ قُدُرَاتِهِ (الْمُؤْمِنُ مُنْتِجٌ)، قَالَهَا لِي وَالِدِي قَدِيمًا، فَلَمْ يَحْرِصْ سَامِي عَلَى الْأَشْخَاصِ ذَوِي الْكَفَاءَةِ الْعَالِيَةِ وَالْخِبْرَاتِ الطَّوِيلَةِ، وَإِنَّمَا كَانَ هَدَفُهُ دَعْمَ الضَّعِيفِ حَتَّى يَقْوَى!

He sought out dreamers whose ambitions had been stifled by harsh circumstances, inviting them to work with him and develop their skills. 'A believer is a producer,' my father used to say. Sami was not interested in hiring people with high credentials or years of experience; his goal was to support the weak until they grew strong.
