One of Jeremy's best friends was his beloved dog that brought him everywhere. The dog name was Beck that was served as the eyes for Jeremy. Beck was Jeremy's second stick. Jeremy sold Palm-fiber broom from house to house around his the villages and residential complex.
He worked from morning to evening, but he stayed off on Sunday so he had time with his wife. He has worked for 20 years and was proud to be a seller of Palm-fiber broom and never wanted to be a beggar.
Jeremy woke up at 5:00 am and got ready for breakfast with his wife. For Jeremy, breakfast is a very important moment and has a big impact on family harmony because he can share each other at breakfast.
Every time he goes to work, Beck always leads his way and walks from house to house to sell his palm-fiber broom made by him and his wife. While Jeremy was talking to customers, Beck was faithful to wait for them until they finished talking, but Beck never allowed customers talking to Jeremy too long because Beck was an active and protective dog.
The area where Jeremy was selling was large enough and it took a year to get back to where he was before so that when he came back, people would buy a new palm fiber broomsticks. Jeremy visited every house for once a year because the fibers broomstick made by him and his wife still lasted up to a year.
Jeremy was a very healthy old man because he loved walking all day while selling. His wife once complained "Why our palm fiber broomsticks can last so long until 1 year?", asked Jeremy's wife.
Some of palm fiber broomsticks even still so good and people did not have to buy a new palm fiber broomsticks. But Jeremy only smiled and replied "We have to sell our best product so that people believe in us, Money only lasts for a while, but the customer's trust in the quality of our products can last for so long in their memories"
"Money only lasts for a while, but the customer's trust in the quality of our products can last for so long in the memories"

Tubuh Jeremy sangat sehat walaupun sudah tua karena dia selalu berjalan sepanjang hari saat berjualan. Istrinya pernah komplain "Kenapa Sapu Yang Kita Buat Bertahan Sampai Setahun", tanya istri Jeremy, bahkan ada yang masih belum harus membeli sapu ijuk yang baru.
Namun Jeremy tersenyum dan menjawab "Kita harus menjual produk terbaik kita agar orang percaya pada kita. Uang hanya bertahan sebentar, akan tetapi kepercayaan pelanggan terhadap kualitas dari produk kita adalah bertahan saepanjang masa didalam ingatan mereka.
