The true measure of a leader is how they treat their employees, not their equals.
Oleg Vishnepolsky

Years ago I lost my wallet with a bunch of cash, credit cards and a drivers license with my address. Knock on my door - a total stranger in a uniform of a janitor (or a security guard) hands me my wallet with everything in it.
When I offered him money, he got slightly offended. "Good deed is not good if we take something in return" he said. I asked what church he belonged to, and then I made a donation there.
Not everyone is fortunate to have been born into a family that gave them a great education and set them up for success. I do find that less fortunate ones often times have a bigger heart though.
Our secretary always asked me how candidates did - when she liked them. I always took it as a strong hiring plus.
You can tell a lot about a person by how they treat secretaries, janitors, waitresses, etc.
"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible." Dalai Lama
