At our family reunion, my brother-in-law Tom, a successful lawyer, belittled my husband David, a dedicated teacher. Tom arrived flaunting his wealth with a new Ferrari, boasting about his success. During dinner, when David shared a heartfelt story about his students, Tom interrupted, saying, \u201cYou\u2019ll never own a car like mine on a teacher\u2019s salary.\u201d David calmly replied, \u201cI love what I do. Teaching gives me a sense of purpose that money can\u2019t buy.\u201d\n

Days later, karma struck. Tom\u2019s Ferrari broke down, and he had to take a crowded bus. Humiliated, he saw David commuting and realized the value of humility. Tom lost an important client and was demoted at work.\n

At the next reunion, Tom arrived humbly and apologized to David, saying, \u201cI was out of line, and I belittled your career. I\u2019ve realized that success isn\u2019t about material possessions. It\u2019s about making a difference, something you do every day as a teacher.\u201d David accepted the apology warmly, appreciating Tom\u2019s change of heart. \u201cThank you, Tom. That means a lot.\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
