Friday Photo: Should We Blame the Lettuce?

When it comes to great blogs Ron and A are great with theirs and if you missed it you missed a great one!

Original content by Ron and Alexandra Seigel DRE00893924

This is one of my favorite passages of Thich Nhat Hanh's books.  I treasure it because it reminds of the vegetable gardens  Ron and I have planted, and our love for plants and flowers.  
 
When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or  less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce.
 
Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change” 
 
                               Happy Friday, Wishing you all a delightful weekend!

WATCH THIS 3-MINUTE VIDEO TO DISCOVER BRILLIANT CUSTOMER SERVICE

Many luxury real estate marketing professionals tout their customer service as different and better than their competition. Yet, in the realm of luxury real estate brokerage or any other specialty in real estate, it is rare to find customer service that is truly remarkable. If you want your customers to fall in love with your brand, your service must be consistently brilliant and full of surprises so that it sparks word-of-mouth advertising.

Not really sure I agree with this analogy at all.  Lettuce can't vote idiots into office.  My friends can.

Love salads . Almost eat then daily ( and big ones) . I think it was Dr. Joel Furman ( on PBS) who said America needs to flip flop their Dinners. Making salad the Main Course . And making what would have been the main be a smaller size appetizer
