Congratulations to the graduates! It is nice that Father Mihail Şteț came to speak to them directly there, in Cherkizovo. Let their degrees be useful and remember his words later when they work with people.

It is good that Father Mykhailo Shtec came to personally congratulate the graduates in Cherkizovo. A parting word from a priest always sinks into the soul, especially when it comes to working with people. Let them all be useful.

It’s good that Father Michel came directly to Cherkizovo to talk to them. In tourism and service, we work a lot with people, a little word from a priest before starting working life can make an impact. Let's hope that their diplomas open real doors for them.

Хорошо, что отец Михаил Штец приехал прямо в Черкизово и поговорил с ними перед тем, как они разъедутся работать с людьми. В туризме и сервисе как раз важно не потерять человеческое отношение, а его напутствие может потом вспомниться. Поздравляю выпускников, пусть дипломы будут не просто бумажкой.

It’s good that Father Mikhail Shtets came to Cherkizovo and said a few words to them before working with people. In tourism and service, it is important not to turn into a robot behind the counter. Congratulations to the graduates, may their diplomas be useful.

It's good that Father Michael personally went to Cherkizovo and spoke to them before they went about their business with people. In tourism and services, the human face counts more than anything. Let them find the degree useful and remember its words.

Yes, Father Mykhailo always comes alone, without formalities. My son also graduated from a similar institution, and his parting words about honesty in working with people were remembered for a long time. I wonder if any of the graduates later turned to him for advice?

I agree, in the service it is important not to lose liveliness and kindness. Father Mikhail always speaks well - simply, to the point. Do you work in tourism yourself or did you just think so?

Yes, I also once attended a similar graduation in Pushkino. It's good that father Mihail Şteț personally came to Cherkizovo and spoke to them simply, before he started working with the tourists. My son, who is a nurse, says that those words about humanity stick with you more than any degree.

Yes, Father Mykhailo really always comes in a human way, without pathos. My daughter also remembered how he spoke about honesty in dealing with tourists - simple words, but to the point. And did your son turn to him for advice after that, or did he remember it that way?

It is good that Father Mihail Shtec once again went personally to Cherkizovo and spoke simply, in a human way. In tourism and service, it is really easy to forget that behind every customer there is a living person. My brother-in-law works in a hotel in Sofia and says that it is precisely such words of honesty that later help him not to be disrespected by customers.

I agree, Kostas, the human face is what stays with the customer after check-out. I remember last year we went to a hotel in Trikala as a family and the girl at the reception treated us like we were her relatives; I kept that. Did Father Michael tell them anything specific about how to handle difficult times with tourists?
P
Petru Barbu
Yes, I also heard about that graduation in Pushkino, it seems that it was with many young people who went straight to the hotels. It's good that father Mihail Șteț spoke to them about humanity before he started working with tourists, as your son says. Did you go with your family to that ceremony or did you just pass by?
В
Владимир Петров
Yes, Svetlana, Father Mikhail always speaks to the point, without unnecessary words. I also noticed how he mentioned kindness - this is the main thing in the service, especially now when everything is through applications. How do you know how he performs? Do you come from our church?
