THE FRED FACTOR

This is a wonderful book which really helped my outlook on life.  It is a short read and should only take you an hour or so to read.  At the end of that hour, if you are like me, you have the tools to feel better about your job....no matter what that job is. 

Here is a quote from the book:

"When your life is at low tide, when your professional commitment is wavering and you just want to get the job done and go home at the end of the day, what can you do?

Here's what I do:  I think about the guy who used to deliver my mail.  Because if Fred the Postman could bring extraordinary creativity and commitment to putting mail in a box, I can do as much or more to reinvent my work and rejuvenate my efforts.  He is proof that there are no insignificant or ordinary jobs when they're performed by significant or extraordinary people.  That's what I call, the Fred Factor"

After reading this book, you will WANT to be called a Fred. I do and I am working very hard to change my view of the world to Fred's view of the world. It has already help me get over a rut and a problem that I was dealing with for the past 5 years. 

I hope this book helps you as much as it helped me.  You can find used copies of the book here at Amazon.com for as low as $1.59.

Have a great day

Thanks Fred Leander for the tip - I'll look for the book.  There's another quick read called You2 by Price Pritchett that's pretty good about making a change too.  Enjoy your week-end.
