A lady worked at a meat distribution factory. One day when she was done with her work schedule she went into the meat cold room (Freezer) to inspect something. But in a moment of misfortune, the door closed and she was locked inside with no help in sight. Although she screamed and knocked with all her might, her cries went unheard by anyone.
Most of the workers had already gone home. 5 hours later, whilst she was at the verge of death, the security guard of the factory eventually opened the door. She miraculously got saved from dying that day.
When she asked the security how he had come to open the door which was not his usual routine, His explanation was, "I have been working in this factory for 35 years. Hundreds of workers come in and out every day, but you are the only one who greets me in the morning and say goodbye to me every evening when leaving after work.
Most treat me as if I'm invisible. Today as u reported for work like all the other days, you greeted me sweetly as always. However this evening after working hours I curiously observed that I had not heard your "Bye, see you tomorrow'. Hence I decided to check around the factory. I look forward to your "hie" and "goodbye" everyday, because they remind me that I am someone. By not hearing your farewell today, I knew something had happened. Thats why I was searching everywhere for you."
- Be humble, love and respect those around you. Try to have an impact on people who cross your path everyday, you never know what tomorrow will bring.
