In a world where every person comes and goes, with everyone rushing to get aound from one place to another, it really takes a lot to be a more empathic person.
But not this man.
Jimmy is a mechanic with a good heart. He has worked long and hard in his job. Although he needed a new job to pay the bills, has proven that no man is too busy to help another who needs his help.
When he got called up for an interview, Jimmy was excited and ready to go for his interview the morning after. He left the house at 8:30 in the morning for his 10:00 AM appointment with a happy heart and a confident smile. As Jimmy waited for his ride at the bus stop, he looked around and saw an old man kicking on his car tire, looking tired and helpless.
He hated seeing the elderly struggling around, so without a second thought, he helped the old man. After fixing the car, the old man offered Jimmy some money for the trouble, but he refused and said that he was just happy to help.
Jimmy arrived at the office waiting room and patiently waited for his turn. He breathed a sigh of relief after he heard that the interviewer was late.
When it was his turn, he was surprised to see on the desk was a cup of coffee and a note that read, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank and prepared to leave but got the shock of his life when he saw who the interviewer was.
It was the old man whom he had helped in fixing his tires, and he was the general manager of the company.
The GM told him, “I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. But I’m quite sure I’ve made the right decision of having you as part of our team before you even stepped into the office. I just knew you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!”
Next time life gives you a calamansi, don’t just make calamansi juice. Share it with others and it will return to you with some merienda.
