With respect you entered your work place with respect you depart when you resign. Do not burn bridges. Don’t bad mouth your company or your previous bosses even if they deserve it. They may be your customers in the future. In business, yesterday’s enemy is very often tomorrow’s friend.”
My first boss would still buy me a cup of coffee every time we meet. It’s a wonderful experience.

Here is an old story. I have used this in my radio program and I would like to share this with you.
A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco.
“Mom and dad, I’m coming home, but I’ve a favor to ask. I have a friend I’d like to bring home with me.”

No steam or gas ever drives anything until it is confined.
No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled.
No life has ever grown great until it is focused, dedicated, DISCIPLINED.” Says Harry Fosdick
Do you agree?

John Maxwell says “Most people overvalue talking and undervalue listening, even those in people-related jobs such as sales. But the truth is effective communication is not persuasion. It’s listening … listen twice as much as you speak.” Too many people love the sound of their own voice with no one interested at all.

Years ago, there was a master violinist in Europe. He would play in concerts, and he had a magnificent Stradivarius violin, extremely expensive. He would play the Stradivarius violin in concert and everyone would whisper in the crowd, “Listen to the beautiful sounds of the Stradivarius.”

I meet thousands of people every week with all the training, keynotes and seminars I give. It is almost impossible for me to remember names and faces. But shaking the hand of the person and repeating their names would help. When people ask me “do you remember me?” My response is “I normally have a photographic memory but am currently low-batt.” A line borrowed from Ziglar.
