A colleague once shared a simple, yet memorable story. They were running late for an important meeting and decided to take a shortcut through a park. As they hurried along, they spotted a small dog sitting alone, its leash tangled around a bench. Without hesitation, they stopped to help untangle the leash, though it made them even later. Just as they finished, the dog’s owner came rushing back, relieved and thankful. Though they arrived at the meeting flustered, that brief moment of helping someone made their day feel a little more meaningful, even if it cost them a few minutes.
