During work today i was very irritated , witht he pressure of exams and trying to get everything done with a decent overall mark it is constantly added so much pressure to my day. i even got written up at work for supposedly "coping an attitude" when those liars new i was late. anyway all of those things kept adding up and i eventually began to get more and more frustrated, because on top of a horrible day i went to bed at 5:30am in the mornig and still haved to get up to come to my stupid job at 9:00am, but i wom't get into that, but then in comes this costomer with the biggest smile on there faceapproching me to ask for a bike he already prepaid for(and let me remind you sports isn't my department). He kept saying to me " you are the one, you are a special employee, and you are full of luck". From those words i could tell that this customer had a surprissingly jkind, gentle, and warm spirit. he was so interested in getting to know me he kept engaging in converstaion, wondering what school i go to and stuff, and i know i shouldn't tell stranger my personal information ,but i didhe kept telling me he livess in Niagra falls, and he travels back and forth form there to Brampton whenever he has time off so he could be with his family. all of a sudden stragly i felt more comfortable and happier, and the pressure was no longer resting on my head. while this customer was speaking with me he told me one thing that will stick with me for life, a "aha" moment. He told me as humans wewe are constantly negative.That's just human nature, and that ngativity causes you as a person to be protryaed and come off as a jackass, you don't notice but you are also selfish with yourself.PeoplePeople shouldn't live that way. Life is way to short to walk around lie there is a constant thunderstorm cloud over your head.He said we are all selfish for living our life like that. It isn't good that people keep focusing on the bad. If people could just open up their eyes and stop being so self absorbed then maybe this shity world would be less insane". At this point i was jsut quiet i dind't know what to say.I thought he was organic, i couldn't help but put a big smile on my face for the rest of the day, everything he said was true. He continued "because there are other people who are going through alot worse then the average person and they still have a smile on their face. And imagine the whold world turns side ways when we lost our favourite pen. just enjoy lifeand quite focusing on the simple things you turn into bad things. Everything happens for a reason and as long as you put a smile on and are truly happy, nothing should really matter". I will forever remember that moment, because it in'st everyday something like that happens at Canadian Tire. Thanks Eric you really made a big impact as well as inspired me today. You help encourage me to be a happier better person.
