Re: [MTC Global] That extra mile...costs nothing

A beautiful piece of sharing....straight from the heart.

Often we come across simple acts of assistance which we don't give much thought...but the initiative taken by the new attendant also shows that he cares for others.

You must have touched him with your goodness and it got repaid....and now you want to help him relocate suitably....so the circle of good deeds never stops.

In this world of jealousy, bitterness, back-biting, political one-up-man ship, a simple act of care takes away all the bitterness....

Keep doing good work and thanks for the share.

Sometimes we come across simple acts or simple work that would go unnoticed..unless we stop evaluate what others have done..even if it wasn't a part of their daily work.

Our college purchased new cuttlery and utensils. A fine crsytal glass was placed in each of our cabins for purely our personal use with our names ingraved on them.

A week after they arrived..my glass while being washed by one of the attendants caught a nick on the edge.

Although I couldn't drink from it anymore because I could accidentaly cut myself while drinking. I still didn't throw it away a sit had my name engraved on it.

I got a new attendant 15 days ago.. called sanjeev. He told me mam your glass is not safe. I said I know that's why I don't use it.

Today I had gone to examination centre for evaluation. on returning to my desk for lunch, I found the glass on the table ..all painted in vivid colours of floral motiffs. With the edge perfectly correct. But the glass seemed a little shorter.

I called the attendant. He said madam your glass is now drinkable. And explained while you were away I took the glass to the near by building..where they are installing windows. They quickly cut the edge. And I filed it

He further said...I am sorry its a little smaller. But  I have painted it with flowers. I got the left over oil paint tubes from the adjoining fine arts department.

I learned he had worked before this in a factory making tea cup sets. Lost his job due to loss in business.

Who am I to mind....his simple act...put my crystal glass ..looking better than everyone else glass.

All I could do was ask my HOD .... can we get him to do something better in fine arts and fashion designing. Department?

But then his qualification is a big hurdle?

Let see....
