So I was browsing around and found this short little lesson that I absolutely love! There is one goal I set for myself everyday, and that is to meet at least one new person a day. This may not be exchanging numbers, or meeting up for dinner. This is just simply a smile and a hand shake or a pleasant conversation. Every person you meet in your life has a purpose and meaning. Wisdom is learned by the people you meet, the adventures you take and the mistakes you make. Go out and meet people for the one you pass by may have changed your life forever. =0)

A Most Important Lesson

During my second month of nursing school, 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.
