A lady worked at a
meat distribution factory. One day, when she finished with her work schedule,
she went into the meat cold room (Freezer) to inspect something, 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. When she later asked the security guard how he had come to open the door,
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 every
where for you."
Moral Lesson to
reflect upon: 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. Let this story be an inspiration.
Let's share to inspire others; someone shared this to inspire me and
I've been greatly inspired by this story.
