- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoI don't believe that's the lesson to take away. I believe one should become and be a person who is happy to take a small part of one's time and share it with others. Taking the time to become that person is the reward. Being genuinely interested in others is a skill that one can develop and will serve one well, but being useful is not the point. The point is to take opportunities to be a better person and make the world a better place. My opinion, and you may disagree, but I like myself better by making these my goals.
- psyklic 16y agoThere is a broader message here than simply "you should befriend the cleaning staff." Okay - you want to ignore the staff because you have no desire to meet them and you think they want to be ignored. Well, fine. You definitely don't sound like a people person. But if this is what you think, you are probably ignoring a lot of other people too. And missing out on a lot of opportunities and great relationships because of it.
