11 Apr Susan’s Sound Advice #172
We go to Broadway theaters often, and that includes parking our car in the dreaded theater district with all the crowds of people doing the same. It’s not the best part of the experience, but one that is a necessity. The other day was an exception. An extremely jovial and witty man welcomed us in to the lot with a friendly, “hello, and welcome!”. After that, another man who gave us the ticket forour car, kindly opened the door for me and helped me out, all while smiling and making jokes. He wished us a great evening and even told us not to forget our umbrella in case it rains. In another part of the city, another parking attendant tells me how much he’s missed me whenever I return to his establishment and always has my car waiting for me when I return. The point of this story is that every single job is important, from the doorman that greets you with a warm hello to the parking attendant that delivers your car to you, to the waitress that serves you coffee. No matter what you do, you are making someone’s day brighter if you have the best attitude and project that attitude onto others. A CEO would be nothing without his secretary, a dentist could not practice his craft without a dental assistant. So, if you think what you do for a living is not important, I hope you will change your mind. Don’t just go through the motions, be the best you can be. You would be surprised how your “little” job has a “huge” impact on those who count on you.
