The director asked,
"Did you obtain any scholarships in school?"
The youth answered "none".
The director asked,
" Was it your father who paid
 for your school fees?"
The youth answered,
"My father passed away when 
I was one year old, it 
was my mother who paid for my 
school fees.The director asked,
" Where did your mother work?"
The youth answered,
"My mother worked as clothes 
cleaner.The director requested the 
youth to show his hands.
The youth showed a pair of hands 
that were smooth and perfect.

The director asked,
" Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?"
The youth answered,
"Never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more books.
Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.

The director said,
"I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your 

mother's hands, and then see me tomorrow morning.*

The youth felt that his chance of landing the job was high. When he 

went back, he happily requested his mother to let him clean her hands. 

His mother felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings, she showed

 her hands to the kid.

The youth cleaned his mother's hands slowly. His tear fell as he did 

that. It was the first time he noticed that his mother's hands were 

so wrinkled, and there were so many bruises in her hands. Some 

bruises were so painful that his mother shivered when they were 

cleaned with water.
This was the first time the youth realized that it was this pair of 

hands that washed the clothes everyday to enable him to pay 

the school fee.

After finishing the cleaning of his mother's hands, the youth quietly 

washed all the remaining clothes for his mother.

That night, mother and son talked for a very long time.

Next morning, the youth went to the director's office.

The Director noticed the tears in the youth's eyes, asked:
" Can you tell me what have you done and learned yesterday in 

your house?"

The youth answered,
" I cleaned my mother's hand, and also finished cleaning all the 

remaining clothes'

The Director asked,
" please tell me your feelings."

The youth said,
Number 1,
I know now what is appreciation. Without my mother, there would

not the successful me today.
Number 2,
By working together and helping my mother, only I now realize 

how difficult and tough it is to get something done.
Number 3,
I have come to appreciate the importance and value of family 

relationship.

The director said,
" This is what I am looking for to be my manager. I want to recruit

a person who can appreciate the help of others, a person who 

knows the sufferings of others to get things done, and a person 

who would not put money as his only goal in life. You are hired.

Later on, this young person worked very hard, and received the 

respect of his subordinates. Every employee worked diligently and 

as a team. The company's performance improved tremendously.
