On a warm morning, a young and energetic woman entered the elevator with an older man. She smiled and enthusiastically said, “TGIF!” (Thank God it’s Friday!).
The man, lost in his thoughts, looked at her calmly and replied only with a “S.h.i.t.”
She, thinking he hadn’t heard her, slowly repeated, “T.G.I.F.”
The man looked at her again and said with a subtle smile, “We’d be better off saying ‘T.G.I.F.’ when nothing happens.”
It was a simple moment, but a small lesson about the different perspectives between the young and the old, each with their own rich interpretations of life.
