A young man entered the last interview of a company. The director found that the young man’s academic grades were very good.
“Did you get any scholarships(奖学金) in school?” the director asked. “None,” the young man answered.
“Was it your father who paid for your school fees(学费)?” the director asked. “My father passed away when I was one year old, so it was my mother who paid for my school fees,” the young man answered.
“Where did your mother work?” the director asked. “My mother cleaned clothes,” the young man said. The director looked at the young man’s hands. He had a pair of smooth and perfect hands.
“Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?” the director asked. “Never,” the young man answered. “I have a request,” the director said. “When you go back home today, go and clean your mother’s hands, and then see me tomorrow morning.”
The young man felt that his chance of getting the job was high. When he went back, he happily asked his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings. She showed her hands to the kid. The young man cleaned his mother’s hands slowly. His tears fell as he did that. It was the first time he had noticed that his mother’s hands were so wrinkled. He realized it was this pair of hands that helped him pay the fees.
The next morning, the young man went to the director’s office. “I cleaned my mother’s hands, and I know that without my mother, I would not be the person I am today,” he said.
“This is what I am looking for in my manager,” the director said. “I want a person who can appreciate(感激) the help of others to get things done. You get the job!”
