Just want to share with you all here the best email I have ever read so far, may these will make you think about the way we treat people!
1) During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s but how would I know her name? I handed in my 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, "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". I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was dorothy.
2) In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. " How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked. "Fifty cents," replied the waitress. The little boy 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 the waitress was growing impatient. "Thirty-five-cents," She brusquely replied. The little boy again counted his coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream," he said.
The waitress brought the ice cream put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice Cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickle and five pennies...
He couldn't have the sundae because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.
3) This one I'm sure some of you had read before. It touch me so much...
Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I 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, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away?"
Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor, he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.
Some advise to you " Work like you don't need the money, Love like you've never been hurt and dance like you do when nobody's watching."
Hope you all enjoy reading it!
