"So I had a bad day"
"Everybody has those days" (Hanna Montana song)
The other day,
I stood in line at the grocery store. I noticed that the clerk never
smiled at the customers and ignored light conversation. I was bother
with her attitude, I am intolerant when it come to people that work
with the public and they are rude.
I was tempted to tell her what
I thought of her sour face, her bad attitude and her rude manners, when
an elderly woman in front of me took a different approach.
She
said, ‘Honey, you look like you’re having a bad day.’ The clerk looked
up with the saddest eyes I’ve ever seen in my life and said, ‘My
husband lost his job yesterday and I just found out I am pregnant.’ The
lady patted her hand and said, ‘Dear, things will work out.’ When it
was my turn, the clerk had tears in her eyes, but she smiled, and I
felt ashamed of myself for being so intolerant.
That instant made
me realize that people usually aren’t rude because they’re mean and
want to make my life miserable. They are unpleasant because they have
problems on their mind and a heavy heart. I am learning to be more
sensitive to the needs of others around me. no body knows whats in
other person hearts or what ill then.
I am learning to be better
and so should you, "so if I had a bad day" or " if you have a bad day"
Everyone has those days, never judge a book for its cover. One word
could make a difference. My grandma used to said and I am sure you hear
this before "You catch more flies with honey than with vinaigrette".
