A millionaire disguised himself as a homeless man to observe how his employees treated those in need. Only one, a young assistant named Nancy, showed him genuine kindness. This act of compassion led to a life-changing reward.
When Richard, disguised as a homeless man, asked for help at his own company, he was met with hostility by a guard and disdain by Tom, a manager. Only Nancy, a young assistant, showed kindness, offering him food and comfort despite being mistreated herself. After Richard’s death, Nancy was shocked to learn she had inherited the company. In a letter, Richard explained how her kindness restored his faith in humanity: “Lead the company with kindness and wisdom.”
Nancy’s compassion not only changed her life but also set a new direction for the company, emphasizing the importance of integrity and kindness over power and status.
