Hey guys,
Been a long time since I blogged haha. Just wants to share something small that made me realize that sometimes, little things in life are valuable lessons.
I was on my way from school to the MRT station to head to tuition. Like always, i dropped by at Value shop to see if there were any new sweets I could grab for my sisters. When I was about to pay, a pudgy woman with shoulder length hair went up to the counter with a ten dollar note. She requested the woman at the counter to help her change $10 into 5 $2 notes.
Honestly I was quite impatient because the woman was holding up the line. After I paid and left the shop, I saw the same woman leaving the shop too. We walked past an old man who sat at the mouth of the shop, selling tissue packets.
Then, the woman handed the elderly $2, said, " have a nice day!" And left.
That struck me. The woman changed her big note just to give it to the elderly man, WITHOUT even taking the tissue packet she DESERVED.
This just made me realise how I've been so judgmental about people... But this was indeed a valuable lesson :-)
Shalom, Jo
