A
lady working at a meat distribution factory. One day, when she finished with
her work schedule, she went into the meat cold room (A very big Freezer) to
inspect her job, but in a moment of misfortune, the door closed and she was
locked inside with no help in sight. Although she screamed and knocked with all
her might, her cries went unheard as no one could hear her. Most of the workers
had already gone, and outside the cold room it's impossible to hear what was
going on inside.
Five hours later, whilst she was at the verge of death, the security guard of the factory eventually opened the door. She was miraculously saved from dying that day. After she had rested from her near death situation she asked the security guard how he found her in the freezer, which wasn't his usual work routine, this was his explanation:
"I've been
working in this factory for 35 years. Hundreds of workers come in and out every
day, but you're one of the few who greet me in the morning and say goodbye to
me every evening when leaving after work. Many treat me as if I'm invisible.
Today, as you reported for work, like all other days, you greeted me in your
simple manner 'Hello'. But this evening after working hours, I curiously
observed that I had not heard your "Bye, see you tomorrow". Hence, I
decided to check around the factory. I look forward to your 'hi' and 'bye'
every day because they remind me that I am someone. By not hearing your farewell
today, I knew something had happened. That's why I was searching everywhere for
you."
Lesson
Learnt:-
Be
humble, love and respect those around you. Try to have an impact on people who
cross your path every day, you never know what tomorrow will bring.
