This is the story of Sarah Williams.

Sarah had just dropped a letter of resignation. She had worked for Mr. Johnson for a month without pay. She is frustrated and sad. She wished Mr. Johnson would just pay her what she had worked for.

Mr. Johnson tries to explain the situation of his company to Sarah, but she wouldn’t hear because she was already in debt.

After quitting her job, she’s left without a source of income. Two months have passed, and Sarah is still job hunting from one place to another.

The landlord comes every day to knock on her door, asking for her rent; otherwise, he throws her out of his house.

After giving her an extra three months to pay up, he threatened her for the first time that if she didn’t pay, she would be forced out of the house that same week.

While the landlord was about to leave Sarah’s house, he saw her little boy, Josh, who was just two years old. He took pity on the boy who looked malnourished, knowing that if Sarah hadn’t lost her husband, she would have been doing well.

He went back, apologized to Sarah for shouting, and asked her to stay as long as he wanted until she got a better job.

Sarah was glad and went job hunting the following day. Luckily, Sarah was employed again. Soon she was back to being owed her salary. This time, the company owed her for six months. Then she wrote another letter of resignation, and while she was about to give the letter to the Human Resources person, she saw the company’s Chief Executive Officer tiredly walking to his office.

Sarah asked the HR person what was wrong with the CEO, and she was told that the man had again lost a contract worth hundreds of millions. Sarah took pity on him and tore off the resignation letter she was about to submit.

Sarah said to herself, “If my landlord can take pity on me, why shouldn’t I take pity on my boss?”

Sarah worked harder than she ever did. Oftentimes, she was seen cheering on her boss, encouraging him not to give up.

After working a year without any pay, the company finally had a major breakthrough. Contracts were granted to Sarah’s boss, and the employees were paid their salaries owed. Sarah was promoted, given a new house, and given a car. Her son was placed on a scholarship courtesy of her company.

When Sarah was asked why she didn’t leave the company despite the fact that other employees left, she said she had made a previous mistake and had also realized that one good turn deserves another.
