There was some shuffling around of seats here today at work and when I got to my new cube I found this on the wall, and thought it might be a good share with the WF

4. Be fair, honest and friendly, and you'll be admired and respected
5. Make other people feel important.
6. Count your assets and stamp out self pity
7. Meet the other person at his/her level
8. Put your smile power to work
9 Keep moving
10 Keep trying
11. Give the gift of heart.
12. Get off to a good start in anything you do.
13. Forgive yourself if you fail.
14. Be lavish with kindness
15. Overwhelm people with your charm, not your power.
16. Keep your promises

Seems like a pretty good list that can be applied to most anything..especially marketing.

Hope everyone has a good day

(p.s. its 26 degrees in Tampa this morning)

    NICE IDEA, BUT:

    2. Give your enthusiasm to everybody
    3. Be yourself, forget yourself, become genuinely interested in the other guy.
    5. Make other people feel important.
    8. Put your smile power to work
    11. Give the gift of heart.
    14. Be lavish with kindness
    17. Be an optimist

    I CAN'T! So much of it has been STOLEN! I USED to be the EPITOMY of that!

    1. Keep your temper to yourself.

    HARD to do when people stole so much.

    4. Be fair, honest and friendly, and you'll be admired and respected

    With so much theft, friendlyness and even some honesty suffers. HEY, I am not the ONLY one affected.

    7. Meet the other person at his/her level

    How many want you to go FAR out of your level either way?

    9 Keep moving
    10 Keep trying
    12. Get off to a good start in anything you do.

    Even THOSE things have suffered.

    The idea of paying forward is nice, but few reciprocate. HECK, I loaned out at least 5 books, against my better judgement. The last guy SWORE he would return a book. Like the others, he DIDN'T! That's it, I am never loaning out another book EVER!

      These are good points to keep in mind. Some might say they are obvious, but they haven't realized them yet.

        Michael, that's a great list!

        re: 26 degrees in Tampa...ouch! (you have the same temps as us...well we are just slightly colder) what the heck is going on with the weather?
        who's playing around up there in the skies, I want to know?

    Hi, Michael:

    Thanks for the inspirational list! I think even if we just focused on the first
    item and the last item, we could be miles ahead of where we are now!

    And when that fails kick their arses.

    It's currently 26 at the moment in Sydney as well. (Celsius)

    Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?
    So that blind people can hate them as well.
