Sharing: 100 Years to travel A Mile

Assalamu'alaikum wbt & Good Day

During this examination mood, Counseling Unit would like to share this story;

This is a short and summarized story about Gary Faye Locke , the current United States Secretary of Commerce, as told by him in his opening remark at the beginning of the conference, Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship (PSE). I copy-pasted this from tini rahim (http://tini-rahim.blogspot.com/), as she got it straight from Dash's blog(http://dashinsights.blogspot.com/).

- The day began with Secretary Locke giving the opening address. It was truly an inspiring speech. It reflects the American Dream.

- In his speech, Secretary Locke narrated the story of how his great grandfather emigrated from China to Washington and found a job as a servant. His father too a Chinese immigrant had a grocery store.

- Secretary Locke, when he took his oath as Governor mentioned that his mansion was 1 mile away from where his great grandfather used to sweep floors a 100 years ago.

- "....100 years to travel a mile", he said to an applauding audience.

- His bio says, Secretary Locke is the first Chinese American to hold this post in a President's cabinet.

Is this possible in any other country?

I nearly shed a tear. Nearly. It's indeed true what they said, you sometimes find joy in the work of others.
