Pls read it to the end, so inspiring
“My boss drove a luxury car everyday
and it was my duty to greet him and to open the gates for him, as I worked as a
watchman in his villa. But he never responded back to my greetings.
One day he saw me opening the
garbage bags outside the villa in search for any leftover food. But, as usual
he never even looked at me, it was like as if he never saw anything!
The very next day I saw a paper bag
at the same place, but it was clean and the food inside was covered well. It
was fresh and good food like someone had just brought it from the supermarket.
I didn't bother as to where it came from, I just took the paper bag and I was
so happy about it.
Every day I found this paper bag at
the same place with fresh vegetables and all that we needed for home. This
became my daily routine. I was eating and sharing this food with my wife and
kids. I was wondering who this fool could be?! To forget his paper bag full of
fresh food everyday.
One day there was a big problem in
the villa and I was told that my boss has died. There were too many guests
coming to the villa that day and I didn't get any food that day, so I thought
that one of the guests must have taken it. But the same thing happened the 2nd
day, the 3rd day and the 4th day.
It went on like this for a few weeks
and I found it difficult to provide food for my family, so I decided to ask the
wife of my boss for a raise in my salary or else I would quit my job as a
watchman.
After I told her, she was shocked,
and asked me, how come you never complained about your salary for the last 2
years? And why is this salary not enough for you now? I gave her so many
excuses but she was never convinced!
Finally in the end, I decided to
tell her the truth, I told her the entire story of the bag of groceries, and as
to how it was my daily provision. She then asked me as to when this stopped? I
told her after the death of her husband. And then I realized that I stopped seeing
the paper bag immediately after the death of my boss. Why didn't I ever think
of this before? That it was my boss who was providing this for me? I guess it
was because I never thought that a person who never replied to my greetings
could ever be this generous!
His wife started to cry and I told
her to please stop crying and that I'm really sorry that I asked for a raise, I
didn't know that it was your husband who was providing me with the meals, I’ll
remain as a watchman and be happy to provide my service.
His wife told me, I'm crying because I've finally found the 7th person my husband was giving this bag full of food. I knew my husband was giving 7 people everyday, I had already found 6 people, and all these days I was searching for the 7th person. And today I found out.
From that day onwards, I started to
receive the bag full of food again, but this time his son was bringing it to my
house and giving it to my hand. But whenever I thanked him, he never replied!
Just like his dad!
One day, I told him THANK YOU in a
very loud voice! He replied back to me to that I should not be offended when he
doesn't reply, because he has a hearing problem, just like his dad!”
Oh! We have been wrong so many times
judging others without knowing the true story behind their actions. Be kind and
courteous in dealing with others, for everyone is fighting a hard battle. Be
careful, not everything is about you.
Before you assume, there is this
thing called
Don’t just jump to conclusion, because that is truly not an exercise, it may cause you more harm at the end of the day.
Don’t just jump to conclusion, because that is truly not an exercise, it may cause you more harm at the end of the day.
Don’t judge a situation you have
never been in. Be humble enough to learn. You do not know it all. Lets change
the way we feel about ourselves and others.
Everyone you meet is fighting a
battle you know nothing about.
