Who is William Waldorf Astor?

George Burt was the first general manager of the famous American waldorf. It is with kindness and sincerity that he takes care of others, and he gets a brilliant return in life.

At that time, he was just a young waiter in a hotel. On a stormy night, an old couple came to the hotel to make a reservation, but all the rooms in the hotel were booked by the group, and the nearby hotels were full. Looking at the old couple's helpless faces, George Burt thought of his room. He said to the old couple, "ladies and gentlemen, I really can't imagine you leaving here with no place to live." If you don't mind, you can stay in my room for one night. This is not a luxury suite, but it is clean. I am working overtime here tonight. "

The old couple felt embarrassed that they had caused a lot of trouble to the waiter, but they accepted the waiter's kindness modestly and politely. The next morning, they wanted to pay the waiter for accommodation, but he refused: "My room is free for you. I earned extra hourly wages here last night, and the room rate has been included. "

The old man was very moved and said; "Employees like you are the dream of every hotel owner. Maybe one day, I will build a hotel for you. " The young waiter smiled. He understood the old gentleman's kindness, but he knew it was a joke.

One day a few years later, George Burt, who was still working in that hotel, suddenly received a letter from the old man asking him to meet him in Manhattan with a round-trip ticket. George Burt came to Manhattan and met the old man in front of the luxurious building between Fifth Avenue and 34th Street.

The old man pointed to the building in front of him and said, "This is the hotel I built specially for you. Do you remember what I said before? " George Burt was very surprised. "Are you kidding?" ? I'm really confused. Why is this? "The old man said gently," my name is William Waldorf, and there is no conspiracy in it, just because I think you are the best person to run this restaurant. "Who would have thought that the young waiter took care of the old couple once, but he won the luck and harvest of his life.

Yes, many times in life, there are many things that we can't get by any means with money and wisdom, but we can easily get them because of a little warmth, sincerity and kindness. Just because, in many cases, these seemingly ordinary and simple efforts give off light and color, which are more attractive than money and wisdom, but more needed and enjoyable than money and wisdom.

Remember, give applause to others, and there will be applause around you; Give others a chance, and success lies in getting close to yourself; Taking care of others is taking care of yourself.
