I am a team leader in an insurance company. We are going through a lot of changes right now, which is
36 much stress for all of us.
A few weeks ago I was having a day so
37 that I even doubted if I had the ability to do this challenging work, and was about ready to change to a less stressful job
38 . Something happened that day to change my way of
39 and I am so appreciative of this young lady. I want to let her know that the small act
40 .
On the top of my cubicle (工作隔间) I have a small collection of lighthouses (灯塔) to let people know where I am sitting
41 my team members have to find me for emergencies.
That day I came into the office and was about to get the day
42 when Crystal came over. I asked if she needed anything. And she said, “I
43 you something.” I looked at her with a
44 look and said, “Well, thank you, but why
45 you buy me anything?” I had never spoke to this young lady
46 . She said, “Every day I stand up and look across the
47 and see your lighthouses. Then I feel I am not alone and I encourage myself that there are always
48 things in life. I saw this on the way to work and thought
49 would like it. I wish it would have the same
50 as your lighthouses do.” In her hand she had a small globe with a lighthouse and a ship on it. I gave her a hug and
51 her. I don’t think she knows how much that small act of
52 changed my day: I remained
53 the rest of the day.
For anyone that reads this, I hope you remember, no matter what the
54 is, you could change someone’s day,
55 even his views on life.
