Give More Than You Get. - 09/24/08 08:09 AM
I thought I would share this inspirational story with the AR community in honour of "Hump Day". I did not write it and do not know who did; it has been floating around cyber space for a few years.  Whether or not you have seen it before, I hope that you enjoy...
I was at the local corner store, buying some early potatoes; I noticed a small boy, delicate of bone and feature, ragged but clean, hungrily apprizing a basket of freshly picked green peas. I paid for my potatoes, but was also drawn to the display of fresh green peas. I am a pushover … (8 comments)

To Achieve Your Dreams...Remember Your ABC's - 09/18/08 08:37 PM
I saw the following on an inspirational poster at my first "real" job in 1989, and it really struck a chord with me.  After leaving that job, I found that I remembered most of the "rules" outlined below, and tried to live by them.  Oddly enough, when I started with Prudential Property Specialists this year, I noticed this same poster is on display in their (our) office.  I thought I would share it with the AR community:

It’s Hard to Soar with Eagles When You're Surrounded by Turkeys - 09/08/08 02:05 PM
My dog thinks he is a cat.  It's really not his fault - he was brought into our household when he was less than 6 weeks old and had only cats to learn from.

After watching my 80-Lb dog playing with a ball of yarn with the cats one day, I took him out to the dog park.  Almost immediately, he began acting like his new friends: barking, chasing a ball, and slobbering all over himself.  At this point I realized: "What a great example of a lesson I have been trying to teach my kids":

13 Tips for Writing Great "SPAM" E-mails - 09/06/08 01:01 AM
(Warning: today's entry contains material that may be offensive to some readers. Particularly if you don't understand satire).
1. Pay particular attention to your mailing's subject: Always use exclamation points (!), CAPITALIZATION, the words "free" & "guaranteed", and/or gappy text (t h i s i s g a p p y t e x t). This will help me identify the mail as being legitimate.2. Use generic salutation formulas such as "Dear User", so that I know that you are someone I know and can trust. 3. If you use a title, make sure the title is confusing. That way I … (17 comments)
