Reputation Matters
My reputation is determined in part by my writing about and living a real, authentic, and sustainable life on this blog. Reputation is everything, it can't be bought, it must be earned and once earned it must be guarded with your life. You can lose your reputation in an instant. If you do be … [Read more...]
Smile and Put Your Patience On
You and only you get to decide what kind of day you are going to have. Real smiles backed up by patience and offered authentically to people serving you in less than ideal circumstances, will result in a lasting and sustainable desire to help you and others.
