First Important Lesson – Cleaning Lady
A professor gave his class a quiz. A conscientious student breezed through the questions and read the last one, “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?” Surely this was some kind of joke. He had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her fifties, but who would know her name?
He handed in his paper leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count towards the quiz grade. “Absolutely,” said the professor. “In your careers, you will meet many people. All of them are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and greet them.” The students never forget that lesson.
