Don’t judge a book by its cover. It’s something we all have heard for years, but if we were all honest we would admit that we do that at least sometimes. I was recently out to dinner and my server was a nice young guy, but I made assumptions based off of what I could see. I thought for sure he would “fit” more into the skater crowd. At the end of the meal, we started chatting and I learned more about him. How a simple request his father gave him as a child turned into a lifelong habit of writing the total in large numbers at the bottom of the bill for someone with poor eyesight. How he had seen nearly every football movie and the ones he loved most were from my childhood. How at 20 he had already learned that give and take in a relationship was the best way to have shared experiences. In a five minute conversation, the scope of my lens on this guy had completely changed and I was a bit embarrassed that my initial thoughts had such a limited viewpoint. Learn from my mistake, and be willing to start conversations with others who you might think you know. Because more than likely, you’ll find that the world is full of surprises and when you show an interest in learning about others they come to life. It was an honor to have Sean as our server. He will almost certainly never know the impact of our short talk, but I’ll remain grateful always for it LTKSeasonal LTKFind LTKSale
