A friend of mine said to himself that that was the sixteenth time he was going to see that same attendant in that same shop with that same face! It became very annoying to him and he couldn't help it one day, he decided walked up to her. As he approached her, he couldn't explain why he began to change his mind. A lot of ideas on how to start the conversation with this woman ran through his mind at the same time and amazingly, he found himself sweating. He walked to her anyways and said hello. The usual attendant in the mall's uniform, blue and orange, would have said, "hello, what can I do for you? Right? But she didn't. According to him, she stared at him continuously and by that time, his palms were dripping. I really hope you are laughing cos I did a lot of that. The next thing my friend said was "can I have a bottle of coke please?" LOL. (at this point, I think I was on the floor).
He decided to check the other stores for what his kid brother had been pestering him for. He passed by one of the empty rooms and whoa! he saw that same attendant, using his words, soaked in tears. After watching her for a while, he summoned courage and walked up to her. After a long talk, a non- fairy tale had been narrated to him. Let me not bore you with the issues!
All I am trying to say is that some people just need a shoulder to cry on, some just need help. Some just need someone to smile. People have different needs, it is not until you hear cars or my children's school fees before you are convinced that people need help. Therefore, YOU have a great role to play in this. Instead of just judging, think, what could be wrong? What can I do? I know that some people have retreated to not helping people because they are usually not recognized or something. Just do it anyways. Be the different one that should go the extra mile to make sure someone is fine. I guarantee you that you will not always get rewarded but at least you did something. Every ungrateful person still has a memory, right? Remember, we are trying to get the heart right here. And these are just steps.
