=======================================
I recently saw a list of 20 things that make us better people. It truly resonated with me. I want to share the list with you, and hope that you share it with others. I will post the first five now, and next week share the rest with you.
Don’t rain on other people’s parades
When you arrive at your job, let the first thing you say brighten everyone’s day
Remember that winners do what losers don’t want to do
Leave everything better than you found it.
And this one, in my opinion, is the most powerful –
NEVER waste an opportunity to tell someone you love them
