Today I was at Mount
Carmel College, Bangalore for a event. I could see all kinds of girls dressed
in all kinds of dresses talking random shit showing unnecessary attitude. There
was this old man, really old and had some problem as he was unable to walk straight.
It looked like his whole body was shaking whenever he moved. His job was to
pick-up litter all around the college. In his condition I would it was more
than tiring and really difficult. I watched him for around 6 hours while I was
there. I didn't any girl giving him any
respect or anything to eat, instead they would increase his work more by
throwing the garbage randomly anywhere.
But this man
relentlessly went on doing his work, all 6 hours while I was there. I did not
see him rest for even 5 minutes. After watching him for around 5 hours I was
beginning to think that people complain about their jobs but this man, I did
not even see a frown on his face all this while. He kept ever-smiling and happy
to everyone who he saw.
Then at around
3o'clock this guy from Pizza-Hut stall picked up a pizza box for which he had
paid from his own pocket and gave it to the old man free of cost. I was amazed
as well as ashamed that I could not think of doing this. I felt respect from my
heart for the Guy and was happy for the old man. I realized that everyone in
this world is not negligent.
I learned that the
people around us are really like teachers to us. We just have to observant and
accepting to learn things from them. The old man taught me never to complain
about anything and keep a smiling face. The guy from Pizza Hut taught me to be generous
and kind to everyone without discrimination.
