第12章 What the Professor Teaches教授的教诲

早安心语

I am not afraid of tomorrow,for I have seen yesterday and love today.

我不害怕明天,因为我经历过昨天,又热爱今天。

By Joann C.Jones

During my second year of nursing school our professor gave us a quiz.I breezed through the questions until I read the last one,“What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?”

Surely this was a joke.I had seen the cleaning woman several times,but how would I know her name?I handed in my paper,leaving the last question blank.

Before the class ended,one student asked if the last question would count toward our grade.“Absolutely,”the professor said.“In your careers,you will meet many people.All are significant.They deserve your attention and care,even if all you do is smile and say hello.”

I've never forgotten the valuable lesson.I also learned her name was Dorothy.

我在护理学院读二年级时,教授对我们进行了一次测验。我轻松地做着试题,直到读了最后一道题:“学院的女清洁工叫什么名字?”这肯定是个玩笑。我曾见过女清洁工好几次,可我怎么会知道她的名字呢?空着最后一道题,我交了试卷。

下课前,有个学生问最后一道题是否计入我们的成绩。“当然!”教授答道,“在你们的职业生涯中,将遇到许多人,每个人都同样重要,他们都应得到你们的关心和照顾,纵然你们所能做的仅是冲他们微笑并问好。”

我从未忘记那珍贵的一课,而且我也记住了女清洁工的名字叫多萝西。
