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 50′s, 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.

4 – Fourth Important Lesson. – The obstacle in Our Path.

Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to

know a little

girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her

only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her

5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and

had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor

explained the situation to herlittle brother, and asked the little boy

if he would be willing to give his blood to his
sister.

I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and

saying, “Yes I’ll do it if it will save her.” As the transfusion

progressed, he lay in bed next to hissister and smiled, as we all did,

seeing the color returning to her cheek.. Then his
face

grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked

with a trembling voice, “Will I start to die right way”. Being young,

thelittle boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to

have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.
