I read an article title, “All Men Are My Brothers” written by James A. Michener. The author speaks about meeting people in various parts of the world and how he is still able to meet people and connect with them on a daily basis. He shared his feelings how now matter how different someone is or how different they life their lives that he can still make a common connection and was able to bond with those people. I am able to relate to his writing and feelings as I work in the food service industry. This industry is full of diverse people from various ethnicities, religions, and backgrounds. I have met people from all across the nation and have even met people from different countries. No matter how different these people are or may seem to me, I am able to relate to them and have a connection with them. No matter where the person is from I will always have a common base, the desire to work in a restaurant whether our desires are to cook food or to serve people. This was a truly inspiring reading as it also connected with my writing for Assignment C. I talked about my personal credo and how important it is to treat people fairly and with respect and James talks about meeting and accepting new people for who they are. It all boils down to treating your neighbor in a way that you would prefer.
Excellent choice, Matt, in that Michener's TIB seems to include a universal truth to which you can relate in your own profession.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I can relate to that because all my life, people have said that I was different. I saw this movie about the time where Japan was at war with usa. The soldiers were on a little island and they were sending letters to their loved ones about their experience. Later they captured an American soldier and killed him. Afterwards they found a little letter he was caring around that was from his mother. The Japanese soldiers rea it and soon after they realized that he the American soldier had a family and people that loved him just like they did. It was a wonder movie but I can't remember what it was called. I think it was letters from....something something? Anyhow good post.
