This morning, I receive an email with a opening statement as follow:

“You may have receive these more than once……. I believe this is worth another read …

Have a wonderful week ahead…..

Cheers,

Five (5) lessons to make think about the way we treat people.”

Here is lesson 1 unedited,”

1 – 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.”

Dale Carnegie in his best selling book, How to win friends and influence people; said,”Remember that a person’s name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.”

Good lesson and Point to ponder!
