A young man with excellent academic achievements applies for a managerial position at a large company. In the final interview with the director, the director asks about the man's background and discovers his single mother worked as a laundry cleaner to pay for his school fees. The director asks the man to help his mother with chores at home to learn appreciation. The next day, with red eyes from helping his mother, the man shares what he learned about gratitude and family. Impressed, the director hires the man to teach the value of appreciating others' hard work over monetary success alone. The story advocates teaching children life skills and gratitude rather than shielding them from difficulties.
