| Article Title :: Money, Motivation, Success and Who? |
| |
| It was 7:30 on a Saturday morning, and I was setting
up to do the opening keynote for the conference. For some
reason--I have no idea why--the sound man thought his ten
year old daughter would enjoy my presentation. He'd brought
her with him to work.Watching her father wiring this and plugging in that,
the girl was soon as bored as only a ten year old can be.
Eventually, she sauntered over to me."So who are you?" she demanded."I’m Barry Maher."Overwhelmingly unimpressed, she asked, "And who the
heck is Barry Maher?""I’m the speaker.""Is that a big deal?"I laughed. "Not apparently to you.""Not if all you do is speak. Everyon (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Driving of Work Trucks |
| |
| Each time you or one of your work crews cruises down the road, people see the vehicle. It is logo’ed and that advertising is there to be noticed. If you cut some one off, believe me they will know who did it. They’ll tell their friends and you’ll be sorry. If you see a lady trying to pull out into bumper-to-bumper traffic, let her cut in. If you see a mom in her minivan with kids at a traffic signal, be courteous. Signal her with a pleasant hand motion to ‘please go ahead of me.’ Mouth the words also and as they pass salute her and wave at the kids or flash your head lights. You are such a nice guy or gal they’ll think. With every one in such a hurry, it’s refreshing to kno (read full article) |
