Turned a New Leaf Today!

I grew up a little today. I don't do that everyday and
if I do I don't take the time to notice the change
usually. Today I did

I finally accept the fact that I prejudge people. I
do, I really do!

Yesterday a couple who looked to be in their early
thirties came by my store. They stopped and looked at
what I was selling (I sell a high end product in a
mall) and they started to look at me in a questioning
manner. I somewhat tried to avoid them because my
first impression was that they were somewhat low class
and very disheveled in appearance. Overhearing their
conversation I guessed that both of them never made it
through high school and that since my product is
educational in nature they just wouldn't be interested
in buying it at the set price. I knew the price was
over their heads.

But I try to be nice to everyone and though they
never answered my greeting of 'hello' I maintained eye
contact with them so that they would feel free to ask
any questions that they may have. Most people that I
judge to be to poor to buy my product reply with
varying comments like, "Oh my God, why so expensive",
or "For that price you should include a new computer
too". A lot of poor people (rich people too) just nod
and look around for a minute, put it back on the shelf
and say, "I'll be back on my way out of the mall". I
question why they say that when they really mean, "Not
today bub". But this couple just looked at me and
asked if I could describe it a bit and how much did it
cost. I gave them my short spiel and then told them
the price. They looked at me and then at each other.
They talked about how they really wanted this but
couldn't afford it right now. They went on to share
how they wanted to save up and come back some day. But
the interesting thing about them was that they weren't
trying to impress me or avoid me. They truly looked
like a married couple who talked out each decision
that they made over with each other and had learned
how to do so with love and respect for each other.
After meeting hundred's of people that try to hide
their feelings from me, and meeting couples who are
rude to each other, I found myself staring at them in
awe. They were a really nice couple who really liked
being with each other.

Although they never purchased anything that day they
left me with a feeling that no matter whom I meet in
the future, I need to look inside a person and see
their soul, before I pre-judge them based on their
outward appearance.

Remember! No matter where you go, there you are!
