On a television channel, there was a successful announcer, who was popular, and who had little competition from any of his colleagues.

The broadcaster was presenting a news bulletin, co-produced and prepared by a team of field correspondents and in-house reporters.

There was no field reporter distinguished by his work, but one of them was more active than the rest, and he would not say the word “no” if he was assigned any task, and if they called him during his vacation time.

As the days passed, the announcer was upset, when he heard the newsroom director's praise of the field journalist, his activity and concern.

The announcer interrupted the director, saying: But we did not see anything special in his work.

The director said with a smile: It is enough for me that he does his job to the fullest, works in difficult times, and interrupts his vacation for us.. As for excellence, it is yours.

The city hosted a major event, and field coverage operations began, in which everyone was dedicated.

During a regular meeting prior to going out to the field, the announcer said to the field journalist: When you are with me on the air, I don't want you to smile.

The journalist was surprised by the comment, so the announcer quickly said: Because your smile is stupid, I don't want it to appear on my post.

Everyone was surprised by the comment, and after several days, the announcer said to the journalist: Your voice is dissonant, and the exits of your letters are not clear. It is better that you enter a special training that I supervise myself.

The journalist refused to comment, and chose not to escalate matters, in order to preserve the interest of the work.

After the journalist finished a direct interview from the field, he turned to the announcer, concluded the paragraph with a quick summary, and involuntarily smiled a smile that everyone felt came out of his heart, as if he had heard happy news.

The announcer went crazy after the bulletin ended, and he got out of the studio and went to the control room, and said to the director of the bulletin: I want to erase that stupid smile from his lips!

Why is this idiot smiling?

What makes him happy to smile?

The next day at the regular meeting, the wide smile was still on the journalist's face when the announcer entered the room and shouted at him: Remove that stupid smile from your face!

The journalist said: Believe me, I can't, I have had a child, excuse me, I can't hide it.

A state of great dissatisfaction with the announcer's rude treatment of an innocent employee, who performs his work to the fullest, has spread, and there have been cases of withdrawals from workers with that bulletin, in solidarity with the journalist.

The announcer had to submit his resignation, because his colleagues did not want to deal with him, and he moved to another big channel, but he was expelled from it in three months, due to his bad manners, and he was forced to emigrate to another country, where he got an office job, and became a nobody after he was a well-known face.

That journalist got a better job offer and headed up a department at a public relations firm.

lesson

God punishes bad intentions with shame and disgrace, no matter how high the person’s status, and when the intention is pure and good, God raises the person before others, even if he is of low status.

The hater is the owner of Satan, who, when he saw his stature, went to Adam, determined to take revenge on him and all his offspring, and it is this satanic hatred that ignites in the souls of the haters.. and the rest of the talk.

• God punishes bad intentions with shame and disgrace, no matter how high the person's position.
