More Dregs Please...

My oh my, how the time does fly! This week was one of the more interesting weeks I've had in quite some time. Lessons learned? Varied... from how to deal with a case of mistaken identity (it's a doozy !) to how to deal with a client who just can't seem to stay awake during a sales call!

See the people around you as they could be and they may just surprise you by rising to the challenge. Do not condemn, do not judge, just expect more and give people the opportunity to rise to the occasion. For as Goethe said, "Look at a man the way that he is, he only becomes worse. But look at him as if he were what he could be, then he becomes what he should be."
