About ten years ago when I was an undergraduate in college, i was working as an intern at my University's Museum of Natural History. One day while working at the cash register in the gift shop, i saw an elderly couple come in with a little girl in a wheel chair.
As I looked closer at this girl, I saw that she was kind of perched on her chair. I then realized she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and torso. she was wearing a little white dress with polka dots.
as the couple wheeled her up to me I was looking down at the register. I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink. As I took the money from her grandparents, i looked back at the girl, who was giving me the cutest, largest smile I have ever seen. All of sudden her handicap was gone and all I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile just melted me and almost instantly gave me a completely new sense of what life is all about. She took me from a poor, unhappy college student and brought me into her world; a world of smiles; love and warmth.
that was ten years ago. I'm a successful business person now and whenever I get down and think about the troubles of the world, i think about that little girl and the remarkable lesson about life that she taught me.
