Having positive qualities may make you admire a person. Especially when those qualities are actually your standard of an ideal person. In most cases, these qualities may inspire you in such a way that you begin to dream of having someone like them as partner in life.
I’m talking about a man whom I will conceal in the name “Louis”. I met him in a government office where I used to work as an encoder. I was in my adolescent years that time that’s why I’m a kind of curious and observant with the people around me. Besides, that was my first time to work in such a big organization making me so amazed on how the big bosses interact with each other. In a way, I was kind of frightened with them given that they have the power to command every employee as well as to terminate them (in my mind I also thought of them as the greedy and frightening monsters in one of my nightmares). Another thing is that I have associated the term big boss as a man having a big body, large abdomen and full-grown mustache.
Going back to the man named Louis, he was actually one of the big bosses in that office. At first he was kind of snob making me think that he was also like the other big boss I have known. I was surprised to know that he’s unlike the other boss. According to the employees who have known him for long he is the best boss in that office having a long patience and a kind heart. Because of this, I began to observe the said boss.
It was one day when someone has scolded me. He was a pioneer employee of the office whom at his every word is full of boast and bragging about himself. Being a pioneer employee, he still hadn’t earned the highest item in the office, because of his boastfulness, I presume. He noticed me that day saying that I should not be in that department because I am not an engineer (because it was planning section that’s why engineers and architects are mostly found there). He told me that I should be in the kitchen washing the dishes and preparing coffee for them. I was really shocked because I know that he should not be telling me this because he is not in the position. He is not even my boss. Suddenly and to my relief, Louis came and heard what he was saying. He said that I should not listen to the dumb man and just focus on my work as an encoder for I won’t be workinginh the kitchen. I was so thankful that day that he came, because of that I became interested about his real personality and tried to get to know him better through other person and through observation.
Each day I witnessed how he industriously spends his time in his work. He was so busy being here and there for certain purposes yet you would never see him in a frown. He loves and enjoys his work, he says. He was also known as an effective adviser in that department. People come and go in his table seeking for his advice about certain things. They have trusted him with all their heart that through the experiences of this man, they may have to deal with the things that made their life difficult. He is also a good friend to his colleagues loving them, caring for them and even helping them through thick and thins. He always treats his subordinates equally just to be fair to all of them. He never took advantage of any person nor took any opportunity to leave others behind especially if he knows it’s not right. He’s also humble. You will never hear him brag or boast about his achievements. If someone strikes him something bad, he will still do something good in return… Because he believes in what the bible says: “If someone throws you a stone, throw him bread.” He’s always on the right side. He always tries his best to be right and fair.
On the other hand, outside the working place, he was a simple responsible father,a good provider to his kids and a friend and a lover to his wife. I believe they have this healthy family relationship because that’s what they used to show. He always tried to balance everything between work and family. He always makes it sure to give them the quality time they deserve.
He’s really one of a kind. He’s the ideal person a woman would always want. He has the best qualities of an extraordinary person you would surely love to meet. I was so inspired of him. Someday, I wish to have a man just like him… simple, yet extraordinary.
