WATCH OUT HOW WE TREAT
PEOPLE:
Five (5) lessons to make you think about the way we treat people.
1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.
During the second month of college, Professor Mr. Williams gave the students a pop quiz. Justin was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until he read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"
Surely this was some kind of joke. Justin had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would he know her name? Justin handed over his paper, leaving the last question blank.
Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade.
"Absolutely," said the Professor Mr. Williams. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say "hello."
Justin never forgot that lesson, to give importance to every person around. He also learned her name was Dorothy.
2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain
One night, at around 23.00 hrs. an older woman was standing on the side of an highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. John stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s-70s. John took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab. She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him.
Seven days went by and a knock came on the John’s door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached. It read: "Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband George’s bedside just before he passed away. God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others."
Sincerely, Mrs. Taylor.
3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those who serve.
In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy Joseph entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. Linda, the waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked. "Fifty cents," replied Linda the waitress. Joseph pulled is hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it.
"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table and Linda was growing impatient. "Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied. Joseph again counted his coins.
"I’ll have the plain ice cream," he said. Linda brought the ice cream, put the bill on the
table and walked away. Joseph finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left.
When Linda came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies. You see, Joseph couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip. So, be obliged to those who serve you and never forget to pay them in return.
4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle in Our Path.
In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.
Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand!
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.
5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving when it really counts.
Many years ago, when James worked as a volunteer at a hospital, he got to know a little girl named Selena who was seriously ill. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother Michael, who had miraculously survived the same illness and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness.
Dr. Peter explained the situation to her little brother Michael and asked him if he would be
willing to give his blood to his younger sister Selena.
James saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it if it will save her." As the transfusion progressed, Michael lay in bed next to his sister Selena and smiled, as they all did, seeing the color returning to Selena’s cheek. Then Michael’s face grew pale and his smile faded. Michael looked up at Dr. Peter and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away."
Being young, the little boy Michael had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister Selena all of his blood in order to save her. Anyway, while trying to understand the moral of the story, now you have 2 choices.
1. Ignore this article, or
2. Share it with your friends, near and dear ones for whom you really care.
I hope that you will choose No. 2 and remember.
"Work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like you do when nobody's watching." Learn the fundamentals of living your life, be happy, enjoy your life, understand and help everyone to your best, and be blessed all the time from people and also from God.
