There's More There Than Meets the Eye

There’s More There than Meets the Eye I went to Dunkin Donuts last to get a cup of coffee as I often do. I feel that the caffeine helps me stay awake so I can do some reading or writing. I also just love Dunkin Donuts coffee. Usually either Jorge or Rich is there to serve me. Jorge always has my coffee ready for me as soon as I walk in. Medium, milk one sugar. He always makes me feel good. He works hard, sometimes six or seven 14 hour days per week. I have much respect for him. Tonight Rich was there. He always takes an interest in my talks, asking me where I’ve been recently. He is very well read. One area of interest is Eastern Religions. I mentioned to him that I had just finished a small book by Thich Nhat Hanh which was given to me by a friend. Rich knew all about him having read many of his books. He even promised me that he will bring one of his books in next week for me to borrow. I love getting to know people who work in service businesses. So often when you engage them in conversation they reveal much more going on inside them than we might at first give them credit for. It happens over and over to me. Don’t be too quick to make judgements about people because they might work serving coffee in Dunkin Donuts. Be sure that more often than not, there’s more there than meets the eye.
