The Power of Appreciation
Lilly was a French Canadian girl who grew up in the farming community. When she was 16, she had to drop school. With English as her second language and poor education, the future didn’t look bright for Lilly.
Lilly’s father told Lilly to find a job. One day, Lilly saw a sign at a big company. Cautiously, she knocked on her very first door. In her broken English, Lilly told the office manager she was interested in the secretarial position. The manage decided to give her a chance. He directed her to type a single letter, and then left. It was 11: 40 a. m. Lilly thought everyone would be leaving for lunch, when she could slip away in the crowd. But she knew she should attempt the letter.
On her first try, Lilly got through one line of five words and made four mistakes. On her second attempt, she completed a full paragraph, but still made many mistakes. She looked at the clock:11:55——five minutes to freedom. Just then, the manager walked in. He came directly over to Lilly, read the letter and said, “Lilly, you’re doing excellent work!”
With those simple words of encouragement, her desire to escape disappeared and her confidence began to grow. Lilly thought, “Well, if he think it’s good, then it must be good. I think I’ll stay!” Lilly did stay——all because someone had given a shy and uncertain girl the gift of self-confidence when she knocked on the door.
