Jack’s Winning Words 7/11/07
“Pretend that every single person you meet has a sign around his or her neck that says, ‘Make me feel important.’” (Mary Kay Ash) Maybe it’s the spouse sitting across the table from you, or the worker in the next cubicle. Maybe you’re trying to sell a Mary Kay product to someone. To make others feel important is more than a gimmick; it’s just a nice way to treat people. Try it with the next person you meet today. ;-) Jack

FROM C.P. IN WISCONSIN: You are so right-to make others feel important-it is a nice way to treat people. There is enough criticism and expectations in the world!

FROM M.L. IN ILLINOIS: many years ago, i started verbalizing the things that i noticed about people, pointing out their beauty of one sort or another. i was surprised by their reactions, some positive, some uncomfortable, some wondering, "who is that crazy woman?". i also started hugging people who appeared as if they needed it. again, reactions varied. i was most pleased by the goodness that i felt. these acts of love fed my own needs. i continue to practice this behavior on a daily basis. is it a selfish or selfless act? i suspect it doesn't matter.

FROM P.O. IN MICHIGAN: It is, isn't it? --- both on the giving and the receving end!

FROM C.B. IN NEW HAMPSHIRE: I really like this one. To often we’re focused on ourselves and how we look and feel… I like it. I’m going to share it with my team at the office.
