7 short stories shared by Satya Nadella [CEO Microsoft]
๐ LOOKING BACK๐
I interviewed my grandmother for part of a research paper Iโm working on for my Psychology class. When I asked her to define success in her own words, she said, โSuccess is when you look back at your life and the memories make you smile."
๐ LOVE CONQUERS PAIN ๐
After I watched my dog get run over by a car, I sat on the side of the road holding him and crying. And just before he died, he licked the tears off my face.
๐ TOGETHERNESS ๐
As my father, three brothers, and two sisters stood around my motherโs hospital bed, my mother uttered her last coherent words before she died. She simply said, โI feel so loved right now. We should have gotten together like this more often.โ
๐ AFFECTION ๐
I kissed my dad on the forehead as he passed away in a small hospital bed. About 5 seconds after he passed, I realized it was the first time I had given him a kiss since I was a little boy.
๐ JOY ๐
When I witnessed a 27-year-old cancer patient laughing hysterically at her 2-year-old daughterโs antics, I suddenly realized that I need to stop complaining about my life and start celebrating it again.
๐ KINDNESS ๐
A boy in a wheelchair saw me desperately struggling on crutches with my broken leg and offered to carry my backpack and books for me. He helped me all the way across campus to my class and as he was leaving he said, โI hope you feel better soon.โ
๐ SHARING ๐
I was traveling in Kenya and I met a refugee from Zimbabwe. He said he hadnโt eaten anything in over 3 days and looked extremely skinny and unhealthy. Then my friend offered him the rest of the sandwich he was eating. The first thing the man said was, โWe can share it.โ
Celebrate Life with Gratitude
