In this article Sabrina talked about how she doesn't like to talk to customers at work besides taking their orders. However this would come change for Sabrina when she met this customer in her restaurant. He name was Don and he was in his eighties. Sabrina noticed that Don came in every-week and sat in her section whenever he was in. Sabrina and Don started talking and he told her stories how he and his wife went to the movies and had dinner together every saturday. About four months later Sabrina received a call from a hospital at Chicago saying that Don was internal bleeding and need a surgery. So she drove to Chicago to see what can she do to help. According to Sabrina that Don told her that he wasn't feel too go so she gave him a number to one of the doctor's that she know. After this incident Sabrina and Don had become friends. After meeting Don Sabrina is not afraid to talk to strangers anymore.
After reading this article one of the things i got out of this was a friendly approach can lead to a lifetime friendship. Another thing was you can be friends with anyone you like; it doesn't matter how old or young he/ she is. It was kind of cool how she doesn't like to talk to strangers but she stepped out of her box and started talking to this man that comes in and sat at her section every week. She ended up being friends with him and kind of saved his life.
The summary gave me a little goose bumps because it just gets me wondering about the lives I could or have affected. If you think of it, the people we go on a whim to make conversation with are usually the people who stick with us, well, as long as you can make it work.
ReplyDeleteFrom reading your summary, this article sounds like it was quite enjoyable to read. After reading your summary, it has got me thinking about what kind of effect/impact I have had on everyone I have met and encountered over the years. I really liked reading this blog post! and something i got out of it was, even if you are someone who doesn't like talking and meeting new people... put yourself out there!! Because you never know what will happen. You might just meet your future life long friend.
