Ordinary people

Saw what a friend, Josie Lim updated on her Facebook wall:
[Do not underestimate the job of a waitress, driver, etc, they are those who keep everything going.]

And I found that statement very very true! Although such ordinary jobs in the service line are often not what people aspire to do, these jobs are indeed what the society, the country, the world need to keep things going.
If one day there were no more waiters and waitresses, things will go chaotic in restaurants and food places though the ones that do self-service would cope slightly better.
However, I must say, if one day there were no public transport, the society would likely not survive! Imagine, people who work cannot go to work. There goes most of the businesses. But even more importantly, the only boss of the business world would have difficulty getting around, by the way, there is only one boss- the Customer. No customers, no sales, as simple as that.
I don't know how else to emphasize the importance of those working in the service sector.

Let's take time to remember their contributions toward the society and the country, appreciate what they do and at the very least, be less demanding.

Haha, having worked for a month I finally have a slightly clearer picture of what it tastes like to serve.

Blessed are they who serve, even more blessed are they who serve those who can not repay kindness. I wish to be one of the latter. Serving the least and the last, as an ordinary person.

Indeed, blessed are those who serve, what more serving with a seemingly "lowly-respected" identity=]

People seriously need to appreciate the garbage collectors for example. Haha...
By the way thanks for inspiring and reminding me.
