My father said, “The quality of an employer is measured in the length of time an employee stayed with you.” My nanny, Dacay, stayed until all of us left home.
Respect. Respect for everyone was the motto of my busy father. Our nanny was far from perfect: she misplaced things, she made countless mistakes, but my father would correct her without insult or judgment on her person.
Virtue is not culture based: it is universal; nor it is based on how much money you have.
There’s an old story I heard from a sermon: “After the landlord attended a life-changing retreat, he went home and called his server: “You know, lad, from this time on, I will be civil and won’t say nasty things about you and your father anymore. I am a changed man now!” With that, the server beamed and replied, “Wow, that’s great, I can now stop spitting on your soup!"
Have a nice day, everyone! :)
