Ömer was a
generous guy. Every evening, on his way home from work, he'd stop by the local
shop, pick up something, and share it with the kids in the neighborhood. The
kids would shout, “Thanks, Uncle Ömer!” as he walked away. His wife wasn’t very
happy about it though. She’d always say, “Don’t spoil those kids so much,
you’re wasting our money!” But Ömer had learned the beauty of sharing from his
late mother. She was from a different time. If they had one loaf of bread, they'd
split it in half and give it to someone in need. His mother, Mrs. Nurdan loved
sharing. She’d never let guests leave hungry. They weren’t doing great
financially back then, but she’d always say, “A guest comes with ten portions. They eat one, and leave the rest
for you.” She loved making people happy. And every time she helped
someone, somehow life would bring her what she needed.
One Monday morning, Ömer was running a bit late and rushed to work. His boss had been in a bad mood lately, and he didn’t want to risk getting in trouble with him. When he arrived at work he saw everyone gathered around Suzan. He went there to see what was the matter. Suzan worked in the company’s tea service. Her life hadn’t been easy. She was always working hard, fighting through things while still staying cheerful. But this time, Ömer saw her crying. “The doctors said there’s no other option, it’s surgery. It’s urgent, but how am I going to find that much money?” she said. She was explaining her husband’s health issues. Something had to be done fast. Ömer said, “How about we all pitch in? We’ll start with whoever can, and then spread the word to our circle.” They started raising money. People told their friends, and even though it was a considerable amount of money they had it raised in just a few hours. Suzan couldn’t believe it, and she was so thankful. She cried, but this time it was tears of joy.
Ömerwas happy to be helpful and meeting Suzan’s needs.
Just then, the phone rang at work, and he jumped. It was his boss Melih’s
secretary. Melih wanted to see Ömer. Ömer thought, “I hope everything’s
alright.” Trying not to show his nerves, he knocked on the door. Melih said,
- “Come in Ömeer...
What did I always tell you? Time is money. Are you organizing charity campaigns
instead of working now? Things are starting to fall apart here. If you want to
do that, go do it somewhere else!”
- “Our colleague
was in a tough spot, so I...”
- “Enough! Don’t
explain yourself! Let’s see who’s going to get you out of this situation. Go to
accounting and get your payment. We’re done here.”
Ömer didn’t even
get a chance to explain. He was really upset about losing his job. “I didn’t do
anything wrong. Should I feel bad if I’m getting fired for this? I was treated
unfairly, and this isn’t the end of it,” he thought. His friends were shocked
and angry. On his way home, he knew his wife was going to be upset. He dragged
his feet, dreading facing her. “They say no good deed goes unpunished,” he
thought to himself. “But I’d do it again if I had the chance.” Even though he
was feeling down, he still stopped by the shop and bought something for the
kids in the neighbourhood. When they saw him from a distance, they ran up to
him, excited. Though small, their happiness cheered Ömer.

Months went by,
and Ömer still hadn’t found a job. His coworker and close friend Selim, would
call him from time to time. Their talks were still pretty upsetting. But one
day, Selim called with good news. Suzan’s husband had gone through treatment
and was starting to get better. The old company was struggling financially, and
Selim too had been let go. But he was happy with his new job. He had told his
new boss about Ömer, and the boss said, “We have a position that would be
perfect for him, let’s bring him in for an interview.” Life had given Ömer an opportunity he hadn’t
expected. The conditions they offered were great. He’d always done good things
without expecting anything in return, but somehow, every good deed he’d done
came back to him. Ömer realized that sharing was the right thing to do, and he
wasn’t going to stop, no matter what anyone said. Life was better when shared
with others.
His mother, Mrs.
Nurdan, had been right, and now he understood that truth.
“If
you want someone to listen to you? Listen to others.
If you want someone to care for you? Care for others.
If you need help? Find someone to help.
As you share your time, love, attention, and resources, you’ll see that what
you have will grow.”
