Valuable Lesson of Life

September 17th, 2005 by Kaushal Sheth

Well I was searching for this story for quite a month now . Had seen it somewhere but couldn’t recall it. Today I found it and am really happy. Reason you ask ?

Well this is is the first story that I read , I liked and first story to teach me Valuable Lesson of Life. This story is gonna stay in my blog forever.

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.

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.
