The question on the exam

A simple question in an exam reminds us of the importance of all the people we know ...

  During my second semester at school, our teacher gave us a surprise exam.

 I was a conscious student and quickly read all the questions, until I read the last one:

 What is the name of the woman who cleans the school?

 Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen many times the woman who cleaned the school. She was tall, dark hair, about fifty years old, but how would I know her name?

 I delivered my exam, leaving the last question blank.

 Before the class was over, someone asked the teacher if the last question would count for the exam grade.

 Absolutely, said the professor.

 In your careers you will meet many people. All are important !!! They deserve your attention and care, even if they just smile at you and say: Hello!

 I never forgot that lesson ... I also learned that her name was Elena.

Just as the explorer frequently consults a compass, establishes the route on the map and constantly verifies its position in order to reach its destination, a leader must have "super-vi...
