Good Luck

Like everyday I woke up very early in the morning. I use the time to study and do my works for the day before I have breakfast with my family.

After breakfast, we decided to go out and shop groceries. The items we wanted needed to be bought from two different places. At the first supermarket I asked one of the ladies that worked there about an item and she gladly answered me. Later at the cashier, I saw an old lady in the line with only a few items in hand. I offered my place in line and she happy accepted. I use the opportunity to be nice to a someone and although small, I exchange a couple of statements which is good for me as a language learner.

When we entered into the second supermarket, I saw an item without the price tag. I asked a lady working there if she knows the price of the item. She said the price should be there and then ignoringly walked away.

In surprise, we continued shopping and went to cashier to pay for the item. I noticed that the same lady is now sitting at cashier. A man also was in front of us in the line and seemed very happy in good mood. When it was his turn, he asked happily how she was today and she responded with a low energy: “ahhhh, same stress”.

On the way home, I told my wife; did you notice the lady. She said yes I did, it is only the beginning of the day and she is so energyless.

I said if she were in a positive energy and were helpful to us and customers and greeted positively with the other customer, it would be possible that a supervisor sees her great work attitude and suggest a promotion with better pay,plus new opportunities with the organisation would be open to her, but this way she stays where she is for the forseeable future.
