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.
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 night 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.”
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..
