.a parable
there was once a man who entered a restaurant.
Now, this man was recently hired for a new job. It was a well paying job, and he was feeling quite pleased with himself. He was on his way to becoming a rich socialite. Feeling exalted above the common worker, he rudely ordered his food, complained that the service wasn't what it was used to, and belittled the cashier taking his order. After all, who was this person, but a lowly blue collar employee?
The next day, he arrived for his first day of work. Confident that he was on his way up, and thinking of the praises and warm welcomes he would receive from his new boss, he entered his company's suite. As the boss stepped out to greet him, he was shocked that this was the same person who had taken his order at the restaurant yesterday! The same person he had put on airs to, the same person he berated and slandered just the day before!
The man nervously inquired, 'Don't you work at the restaurant?' The boss said 'Yes, but it is only on the weekends, because I enjoy the work. Now, let's begin your day by assessing your public skills, your attitude towards clients, and your ability to adjust to change.....'
