So, you learn over here the importance
first of all, to go above and beyond. I
know you don't have to. You don't have
to. Right? You You could just do the
commandment and that's it. You could do
what I asked you and that's it. But,
there's something so special about going
a little above and beyond.
Cuz I'm not doing it because you're
telling me to do it. I'm doing it
because I have a relation with you.
Because I like you. Because I like
Hashem. Because I like Hashem. I want to
emulate Hashem. I'm doing it because I
want to I want to do more. I don't want
to just be
mediocre. I'm going to do exactly what I
need to do. Yeah, I did until There's
two types of workers in the world. You
know, there's the worker who does
exactly what you say.
And then there's the worker who does my
There's a There's a story that I just
reminded myself.
There was a story of two workers who
worked for a company.
And they both got raises. One of them
got a raise of whatever, $5,000 a year.
One of them got a raise for $25,000 a
year. Whatever it was. I don't know if
it's I don't know if it's a true story.
But, it's a it's a great point.
>> [snorts]
>> Anyway, so the one who got less went
over to the other one went over to the
boss and he said, "I don't understand."
No. Somebody who was watching the story,
maybe the accountant or whatever it was.
He said, "Why is this one getting this?
And this one getting that? And then
that's not fair." He said, "I'll show
you why. Watch." So, he walks over to
the one who he gave $5,000 to in the
raise. And he says, "Can you go
downstairs and make sure that I turned
off the light in the basement?" He says,
"Sure. Of course. At your service." And
he goes downstairs and he comes up. He
says, "The light was off." "Amazing.
Have a good day. Thank you.
Say hello to the family." And he left.
He said, "Now watch this." He went to
the other guy.
He said, "Can you go downstairs and make
sure that the light is off?" And he
said, "100%." He runs downstairs. He
comes up. He says, "The light was off,
but I noticed that the paint on the side
was there. So, I put that inside it.
Also,
and he and then and then and then and
then and then And on the way up, one of
the steps I put in the mat and I cleaned
it." And he came up and he went He said,
"You see? One of them is going way
above. One of them is doing exactly what
I told them to do. He got the job done.
He was out of there. That's it."
That's the idea.
The idea is that a person has to has to.
It's a very beautiful thing to do a
little bit more.
We know what Hashem expects of us, but
sometimes we could do more for Hashem. I
don't have to do that hesed, but I want
to do that. I want to answer that. I
want to try to help that person. I don't
have to. I'm not even getting paid for
it. But you know what? I want to. I have
the time to do it, or maybe I don't have
the time to do it,
>> [snorts]
>> but I'm going to make time as long as
I'm not stepping on somebody else's
time. But I'm going to I'm going to try
to do that cuz it's just such a
beautiful thing.
That's the first thing you see from
this.
The second thing you see from this
is that even the smallest act of
kindness is important in the eyes of the
Torah.
Meaning from Hakadosh Baruchu's
perspective, even though maybe in the in
the corporate world a little tiny thing
is not that much, a little small tip is
not that much, a little small compliment
is not that much, but in the eyes of the
Torah and from Hashem Yisbarach, which
is the only thing that really matters to
us,
you see even the smallest thing counts.
You help somebody with a little tiny
thing, a few centimeters, that makes all
the difference in the world.
So, turn yourself into a klee, into a
vessel of kindness,
and try to do a little bit more. Another
2 minutes of seder, looking down one
more time shmiras einayim,
smiling at somebody, telling somebody
you should know,
"It's good to see you."
Whatever it is, all these small little
things, they count and they make a huge
difference in the world.
