Here’s some words for the week to ponder.
As a high school basketball coach, John Wooden created a “thank you” rule for his players. Every time a player scored, he was required to acknowledge the person on the team who’d assisted.
Of course, some of the players thought this was a silly rule that would take too much time away from the game. But Wooden explained to his team a simple gesture like a nod, a thumbs-up or a wink would take them less than a second.
Wooden believed if you didn’t show your appreciation to others, they’d have no way of knowing their contributions were recognized. And without recognition, people start to pull back — both from performing and from cooperating with others. It’s a key element of teamwork and success.
THOUGHT TO REMEMBER: Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.

Hi Joe
Very good post. We often take other people for granted in our lives. Whenever someone does something good or nice for us, we should always acknowledge their gesture. A nod, or a wink, or a smile can help brighten another person’s day. Being positive can become infectious and can effect the lives of others. Even if it only takes less than a second.
