Just imagine being a police officer who was the first to respond to a reported car accident; and the person inside of the car is trapped…to find it being your son, daughter, friend, or someone you KNOW. This happened to a police officer I know. When he arrived at the scene, the care was pinned against a utility pole with LIVE electrical wires on top of the car. When this happens, police have to call COMED to turn off the electric first, before helping the person trapped inside the car. As time passes and tension arises, the police had to stay calm, knowing that his son was the victim. Once the wires were removed (hours later), the injured man was taken to the hospital to be pronounced DEAD. The autopsy showed that he had hit his head on impact and could have lived. Although he died of a severe head injury as the final report; he also had a .21 BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL. In Illinois this is 2x the legal limit.
My first reaction is in awe as it is such a horrible thing to know somone in a car crash. My thoughts race as I wonder “WHAT HAPPENED” only to discover that Drinking alcohol while driving ws the CAUSE of the mans death. THen, I have to wonder how the Parents, family and friends must feel as they have to deal with the sudden loss that struck their lives.

How We Treat People
by Katey on July 30, 2010
Have you ever got those “forwarded-chain-type” emails that you now become accustom to deleting without reading?
Well I don’t know what it was about this email that I received from my friend Rozanna – but I stopped to read it and I am glad I did.
Ever since I decided to focus on running an online business and help others with their marketing, I have found that everybody wants a quick and easy solution to gain more business.
Time and time again we are all hear that the money is in the list… we need to have as many followers on Facebook or on Twitter.
Often I get the “Help … I need more followers fast – because I am about to launch (book/product/program)”
What most people don’t understand is that the money is not in the list, the money is not in ‘followers’ – the money is in building relationships that people feel safe and assured that you have their best interest at heart and no selfish objective.
Hard hitting sales-pitched marketing does not work as strongly as with the relationships that we create with people.
So if you want to discover some simple reminder stories about how we treat people, that will make the difference to you world, please read on.
Five (5) lessons about the way we treat people
1 – First Important Lesson – Cleaning Lady.
During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one:
“What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?”
Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the Cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50′s, but how would I know her name?
I handed in my paper, leaving the last question
Blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade.
“Absolutely, ” said the professor… “In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant… They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say “hello…”
I’ve never forgotten that lesson.. I also learned her
Name was Dorothy.
2. – Second Important Lesson – Pickup in the Rain
One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African American Woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rain storm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride.
Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car.
A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960′s. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab.
She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him.
Seven days went by and a knock came on the man’s door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached…
It read:
“Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying Husband’s bedside just before he passed away… God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others.” ~ Sincerely, Mrs. Nat King Cole.
3 – Third Important Lesson – Always Remember those Who Serve.
In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him.
“How much is an ice cream sundae?” he asked.
“Fifty cents,” replied the waitress.
The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it.
“Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?” he inquired.
By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient…
“Thirty-five cents,” she brusquely replied.
The little boy again counted his coins.
“I’ll have the plain ice cream,” he said.
The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies…
You see, he couldn’t have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.
4 – Fourth Important Lesson. – The Obstacle in Our Path.
In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the King’s’ wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it.. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.
Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded.
After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.
The peasant learned what many of us never understand!
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.
5 – Fifth Important Lesson – Giving When it Counts…
Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister.
I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, “Yes I’ll do it if it will save her.” As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded…
He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, “Will I start to die right away”.
Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
Carl Jung
