There was an old lady who went to a bank and said to the cashier, I would like to withdraw $500 the female cashier told her, I’m sorry Madam, for the withdrawal of any amount less than $5,000 you may have to use the ATM. Actually when the old lady asked why the cashier who was irritated unknowingly said, madam look, rules are rules. Yeah, there’s a long queue behind you. Please let me do my work. The old lady replied, then please help me withdraw all the money I have. The cashier was astonished when she checked the account balance. She done to the Old Lady, lean down and said, my apologies madam, you have three and a half billion dollars in your account and a bank does not have so much cash currently. Could you kindly make an appointment and come again tomorrow please? The old lady asked okay, but how much cash can I have a drawn now the cashier promptly and now respectfully replied, any amount up to $300,000 the old lady told the cashier that she wanted to withdraw $300,000 from her account.

The cashier did so quickly and handed over the amount to her. Guess what the Old Lady did? She kept $500 in her bag and return the balance of $299,500 back to the cashier asking her to deposit it back into the account, only to leave the cashier astonished and dumbfounded. Isn’t it? The fact that way too often we end up judging a book by its cover. Many times people around us possess the wealth of deep insights, experience, wisdom, but because of being caught up with the social standards and because of bare modest externals, we could easily misjudge and miss out on the opportunity to receive so much the next time you’re around someone. Remember, they may possess a wealth that you have no idea about. Stop yourself from judging them and you may be tremendously benefited by what they have.
