Jack’s Winning Words 11/27/17
“Be nice to people…maybe it will be unappreciated, unreciprocated or ignored, but spread love anyway.  We rise by lifting others.”  (Germany Kent)  Google made a study of why certain teams succeed in the business world.  After lots of data, it found that team members who like each other do a better job.  It works in the home, too…and even in church.  My mom was right when she said, “Just be nice to your sister!”  Try to be extra nice today!”    ;-)  Jack

FROM OUTHOUSE JUDY:  Good words!  It’s a good way to live to....just be nice!====JACK:  And it doesn't depend on quid pro  quo, either.

FROM ST PAUL IN ST PAUL:  hey,  we are full of Minnesota nice up here!!====JACK:  You're right about that.  I'm planning fly up there in December to experience some of it.

FROM BLAZING OAKS:  Being nice, and using good manners, never goes out of style! It is more effective than any haranguing or critical approach to a situation! My daughter has the slogan on her emails, "Be nicer than necessary, for everyone is fighting some kind of battle." Often true. ====JACK:  Did anyone have to tell you to be nice?  Probably not.====OAKS:  Yes! My mother was constantly reminding Jan and I that it didn't cost a penny be nice to everyone! She rarely had a negative thing to say about anyone, and wasn't one to pass on gossip. We learned at her knee...reminds me of that saying by Pastor Tillberg, and "other joints".====JACK:  We used to go to a cafeteria where the serve would always ask, "Would you like something nice?"  I wish that that place was still in business and I could hear the server's words again.  But, alas....  They never say that at McDonald's.
