“Maya lies on her work reports.”
Maya felt her heart sink. She was scared and mad. But instead of yelling, she found a quiet room, closed her eyes, and took deep breaths. In… 1-2-3-4. Out… 1-2-3-4-5-6.
Then, she got an idea.
She sent a short message to her boss and team leaders:
“I heard there’s some confusion about my work. Just so you know, my last three report checks were perfect. I’ve attached them here.”
Later, the person who spread the rumour said, “People are talking…”
Maya stayed calm. “If you’re worried, please email me and the boss so we can check the facts.”
She didn’t gossip back. She didn’t make a big scene.
Instead, she stopped looking at the group chat where people were mean. She shared less about her personal life. She stayed kind but focused only on work.
She asked two teammates she trusted, “If someone talks about this, can you send them to me?” They said yes.
Maya kept doing her best every day. She helped others, answered messages quickly, and showed she cared.
A week later, her boss said, “Thanks! This clears everything up.”
And in a meeting, reminded everyone,
If you have a problem, talk to the person involved. No gossip.
The rumor died out because Maya didn’t feed it.
Later, a new nurse asked, “What happened?”
Maya smiled,
“If you ever hear anything about me, just ask me. I’ll do the same for you.”
Then, she went back to helping her patients.
Moral:
Fix what’s important just once. Be kind and honest every day. Stay away from gossip. The truth wins in the end.
