First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.
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.

I enjoyed the story, I try and follow the lesson in the story. The broader my view the greater my own enrichment. So many things in life that add to its joy and beauty get ignored or forgotten including people. Call me selfish I intend to continue smiling at the cleaning lady at my office (her name is Maria) because it makes me feel good. I look forward to your next story.

One of the best English teachers I had in high school would fail you or give you bad grades if you did not do your own thinking. It was before almost anyone had access to computers and it was an excellent lesson.

Over good
that would help us to pay attention and care.
I always do the same walk in front of other in my own precinct, even with out saying HELLO, and if some one came to me asking about one of those people whom actually i don't know their name, i would reply with i don't know who you are seeking about.
So we all have to know each other, its over good at least to make relationship with.

very good.
I also learned that lots the happiness you will gain in your life shall come from genuine people you meet and socialize with. The quality of people you meet will determine the quality of your life.
Enjoy

Isn't that crazy. You never know when WHO you know will matter the most. It is always a good thing to know the people that are around you.
