During Mark’s first month of college, the
professor gave his students a pop quiz. He was a conscientious student
and had breezed through the questions, until he read the last one: “What
is the first name of the woman
who cleans the school?” Surely this was some kind of joke. He had seen
the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her
50s, but how would he know her name? He handed in his paper, leaving the
last question blank.
Just before class ended, one student asked if the
last question would count toward the quiz grade. “Absolutely,” said the
professor. “In your careers, you will meet many people. All are
significant. They each deserve
your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say ‘hello’”.
Mark never forgot that lesson. He also learned her name was Dorothy.
Everyone in your life is everyone just like the people you give importance to.Every race, ethnic minority,religious identity,town,state.man and woman etc is important and should be given its due and honor from now on in Nigeria.Christian and Muslim leaders should therefore imbibe this lesson in their relationship with each other.
