Hartman, Dan - The First Impression Lyrics

Sad when you loose your mind! Nice report !

God bless you good sir

I'm a janitor. It sounds like you're talking down on us. Its very hard work and a very important job. Everytime you walk in a building and you don't get hurt or sick, thank a janitor!

Notice there was no other staff? No teachers? No principal? Just the kids. Do the kids know something the (maybe) elitist staff doesn't? This is 15 years of Maury's experience writing.

But the trouble is they never went to the moon its fake news NASA is the biggest liars on the planet

He’s a fortunate man

To measure a man, based upon his wealth, is to make him richer,as he picks your pockets.

Wow the life is Cruel.

Nobody went to the moon! LOL An EASILY proven HOAX!!! Only the brainwashed believe it.

This is one of the best "feel good" story EVER what a guy! Sometimes if we're lucky we get just what we got coming

Good man!

I wonder if i'm related to this man. I have a lot of cousins in the South. I am a 24 year Air Force veteran with a degree in computer science, but you probably guessed it, i'm a custodian too. Hated the computer science stuff, quit after 4 years and went back to becoming a custodian. Love my job and very happy with it!

no man has been on the moon

I can relate! I was a biochemist until I got laid off. Now I drive a para transit bus and love it! I drive my "friends" around all day, taking them to appointments and to get groceries and I wouldn't trade it for a thing!

Great man indeed but credit due to the students for they are also great.!!!

He wants to work till he drops. We applaud u sir.

The race doesn't always matter...it's the finish that counts.

I wouldn't have judged him just because he's a janitor, I mean all I see is a working man, I would shake his hand and greet him the same way I would do a CEO of a business.

Who would thumbs down this?

I saw a story about another janitor in a public school (I forgot where it was reported) who had a very different career that he retired from. The guy served in the army 20+ years, including 2 tours in Vietnam, had ribbons an medals covering his chest, and none of the students even knew about it.

What a beautiful story...

What a wonderful man.

Make him a schoolteacher he'll be better than any of the Union slugs there that you can't fire even if they suck

God Bless Steve.

We are all born with a full life to kead & we can make infinite choices but ultimately being a nice person regardless of academic qualifications is the best choice to make. It costs nothing 🙏

I never assume that's the worst thing you can do

I’ve always loved the custodial staff at school and at work. Never take what they do for granted, improve our quality of life.

This was the most humble heartbreaking thing I have ever heard.

Why is he mopping the wrong way and using a hand mop when he would be using a t5 or something

Folks now believe we never went to the moon. So we are in prison.

Any honest job that an individual performs to the BEST OF HER OR HIS ABILITIES IS NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED ABOUT...THE MAN COULD HAVE EASILY TAKEN SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY... However, he chose to keep on working....The world needs more people like him...

Student.... can you help me with this equation.
Teacher...... go ask the janitor

❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful

What a beautiful story !

I would be so hype to know that he's was connected to puttying a man on the moon.

Why is it that all his interveiws stories gets me to cry like a baby all the time!! Love to watch all his interviews and stories and findings of good souls around this great country!!

but what if it didn't' happen. sorry, but I'm still not 100 percent we ever landed on the moon. But I bet he is great with the kids and mopping.

I was working for a grocery store while in high school. It had a gas station and a convenient store attached to it. One of the guys working the convenient store used to work at NASA. He was an actual backdrop in the movie “Armageddon”. I used to love finishing up with my work so i could go in and hear his stories from his NASA days.

Very profound!

What does he say at the end?

Yea.. I am "amazed" that it happened too.

Prove it didn't. They can prove it did happen.

Prove it did. I can prove that it didn't happen.

I like this man but when you mop you want to walk backward, not forward so you're making more foot stains

What if he was just tired of doing smart stuff and decided to fake a stroke to get on tv.

One of the substitute teachers who worked in my school district used to work as a part of NASA. He was the part of the ground control crew part of the Mercury Space Program.

What a legend

:’) / :’(

This is incredibly uplifting.

I watched 'Disturbing Behavior' and 'Good Will Hunting'. A janitor is just a guy working a job. Always treat those who serve you with respect. You don't know at face value who they are or what they've done.

0:25 made me cringe 😂

We prefer the term custodians please

Meanwhile whats my excuse for pushing around a broom.

What a killer ending line lol

I've come to realize lots of money doesn't buy you happiness. As long as you have health, love, food and a roof over your head everything else you can live without.
I've had stressful jobs that made me a lot of money and I ended in the hospital because my health decline. I no longer chase the paper.

What is sad about this story is that why is this man still working? He has a stroke. He should be able to comfortably retire and rest. He has done so much for his country. This man should have a $3 million retirement fund. He should be able to travel and lecture and give speeches and write books.

Am I the only one that’s really good friends with my school’s janitors?

Well written piece

"The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love." -William Wordsworth

Wow! It's people like this that should be all over the news.

Using a scraper on the black shoe Mark's on tiles takes way too long. Get you a tennis ball cut a slit in it and stick it on the end of a stick, ribs the black Mark's always with ease.

They live in Knoxville to sick I played there school in a basketball game

Good man right there! And, he's discovered the secret to real happiness, and thats not rocket science either!

A janitor at my old high school is becoming a published author and the book has been optioned by Lifetime to make a movie. In spite of all that, he still wants to be a janitor.

This is a really nice story.


but.. my troll instincts just can't be held back..


..give it a few years and the kids will say he molested them 8-)

I love you Maury❤❤❤

Living proof of an economy in decline.

How sweet!

ahah waging until you die!

cute old man

But shouldn’t this report also discuss why is that in the richest country in the world a man who was a NASA engineer has to become a janitor at this age after having a stroke? He may love these kids, but he didn’t choose to be there in the first place. He had no choice and no protection. That is appalling. I think the focus is on the wrong point.

A lovely story, but how many will apply this principle in a context that requires you to really question your own behavior? We have the most powerful communication ever made -- and yet our ability to communicate is rapidly eroding.

Remember this line from an '80s classic: "You see us as you want to see us — in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions." I was of that generation, and clearly we have failed to learn from that lesson -- as America has become increasingly crippled over the years because of seeing people in the “simplest terms” and “most convenient definitions."

Good Will Hunting

He was a space engineer decades ago but now he's a humble janitor with a kind heart..

It's great that he finally found some honest work.

Happiness is not where society makes you believe it is just to make you work like a horse and spend money on things that doesn't make you happy

Respect. Reminds me of Goggins who is the first man in the service to go through the toughest military training regimes and now works as a fireman digging holes.

So janitorial workers should be ashamed of themselves....????

Too often, teens are taught to believe that success is found by getting a 6 figure job and a college degree. Being successful isn’t a job, but your attitude towards it. A janitor is no less than an aerospace engineer and a McDonald’s worker is no less successful than a president. It’s ok to be content with a lower paying job if you enjoy it

God Bless this man I learned something from him in this video alone..

😢❤️😢❤️😢❤️

Kids are good company. I'm happy for that man and the kids are lucky to have him too.

I want more stories like this I'm sick of the negative ones thank you for putting this out there

Touching. Now clean up the vomit in class 53.

God bless...

This gentlemen is physically still strong.
As well as his spirit.

This is an example of the height of the capitalism, a lesson for CBS and others who keep calling universal health care a socialism.
An engineer who worked for one of the biggest mission of not just a country but the whole world and the humanity ends up working as a janitor just so he can pay his medical bills.
I am sure he had elite standard insurance while employed as an engineer but not any more that he cant afford.
What a shame.

Your a very rich man. God bless you.

It would be interesting to see stories about women and people of color who left STEM fields due to bullying, sexism, or racism and built thriving lives for themselves afterwards. There are many of us.

Awww, when he eyes filled with tears it almost broke my heart. What an incredible gentleman.

He is a hero!

Make a movie about this man ASAP

Mr.Hartman you are killing me,your stories make me cry!

I think i love him too❤

We're all on the same journey traveling different paths... DON'T BE QUICK TO JUDGE!

Police departments would call him overqualified and use that as an excuse to not hire him...

ojmardueno he’s was 74 years old when he had the presumed stroke, most departments don’t hire new applicants over 40 fyi.

Nothing wrong with honest work to keep living

58 cold hearted people. Not all videos need to be disliked. This is one of them.

He still works because it’s America and you have to work tell you die.

False.

You have to get out of bed and out of the house and keep your body active or you'll wither away and croak.

Don knotts was a janitor in the Reluctant Astronaut

It's all about the love..no academic degree can replace that. Imagine, what a different world we would have today..if we could only...❣️
