An old lady handed her bank card to a bank teller and said, \u201cI would like to withdraw $500..\u201d
\nThe female teller told her, \u201cFor withdrawals less than $5,000, please use the ATM\u201d.
\nThe old lady then asked, \u201cWhy?\u201d The teller irritably told her, \u201cThese are rules. Please leave if there is no other matter. There is a queue behind you.\u201d She then returned the card to the old lady.
\nThe old lady remained silent. But she returned the card to the teller and said, \u201cPlease help me withdraw all the money I have.\u201d
\nThe teller was astonished when she checked the account balance. She nodded her head, leaned down and said to the old lady, \u201cMy apologies Granny, you have $3.5 billion in your account and our bank does not have so much cash currently. Could you make an appointment and come again tomorrow?”
\nThe old lady then asked, \u201cHow much am I able to withdraw now?\u201d The teller told her, \u201cAny amount up to $300,000.\u201d
\nThe old lady then told the teller that she wanted to withdraw $300,000 from her account. The teller did so quickly and handed it to the old lady respectfully. The old lady kept $500 in her bag and asked the teller to deposit the balance of $299,500 back into her account. The teller was dumbfounded.
\nThe moral of this story is that rules are inflexible but we can be flexible when the situation requires us to be. We should not treat people based on their looks or how they are dressed. Rather, we should treat everyone with respect, as if they are our own elders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
