People Matter!
I get a few quotes of the day in my inbox that strike me, so I thought I'd share one that sums up how I try to treat people every day!
"Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they will not be here tomorrow. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again." - Og Mandino, 1923-1996 (Adapted) Author of 'The Greatest Salesman In The World'
Every time I think about the happiest times in my life, I realize that NONE of them were spent alone. If none were spent alone, that means that each and every one of my favorite moments happened with another person. Often these great times were spent with friends, but sometimes they were spent with those that at the time of the event, were not yet my friends. If I hadn't treated them with great care, kindness and understanding, I would have never experienced what I did.
Think about how much richer your life will be if you surround yourself with good people...and start realizing that everyone you encounter has the potential to be a good person if you'll help them unlock their personal greatness.
Make every day a great day!

Thanks for a great post. our personal relationships and interactions are our most vluable possessions. We do need to treat each moment as special and each personal encounter as such. We tend to take time and people for granted. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I hope I can remember to follow this bit of advice, both in good times and bad.
Thanks for the post, and there's lots of great stuff on your makeitgreat.org. I recommend people spend some time there if they want to get better at whatever they're doing.
