SMALL OR BIG, VALUE THEM
SMALL OR BIG, VALUE THEM
She spent more than fifteen minutes sizing up this guy. To her, he was just a little boy not worthy of her attention.
Although she needed his help he didn't look the part of someone that could render such help. He looked so small, short and tiny. "He needs help himself, how can he even help others" she thought.
After facing the consequences of not seeking his help, it would later dawn on her that she was wrong and yes for the very first time in her life, she felt terrible and sad, she just missed a great opportunity for sizing up the person who could have helped her clinch it.
You are like her. Yes, you are just like her each time you write people off because of their stature or size. Be careful not to miss opportunities all because you think the person who would have helped you is a little boy. Do I need to remind you? Age, stature and size have never been a criteria for wisdom.
Small or big, people should be respected. Give them the honour they deserve even if they don't seem deserve it. Read that again. Don't ever undermine a person's ability or wisdom. More importantly, don't close your doors to people that can help you because of size, stature or age. Learn to value people because if you don't, you will learn to do that the hard way.
Respect everyone you meet everyday as you go out, irrespective of age, body size, stature or class. Humans are humans, respect and value people intentionally.
The world is such a great place with different kinds of people, which means everyone can not be like you. Are tall people paid extra salaries for being tall? Are short people paid lower salaries for being short? If no, why not value people and understand that everyone is unique in his or her way.
Don't lose opportunities because you think a person is small and doesn't deserve your attention.
