Payback time
July 21, 2007
Last week I was in Barnes and Noble, South Coast Plaza and found my new favorite 4bucks..sorry Starbucks. I love to spend time at Starbucks, always good music, good books and never a short supply of warmth.
I had set up in the corner of the store, sat down in the big comfy chairs and began reading the Secret book which Bijon had gifted me. About two hours later, I got up to get my Cappuccino when it happened.
"No charge Kar!"
"Thanks... Why?"
"The gentleman before you just had a baby. He bought a $20 gift card and told me to buy drinks until it ran out."
I smiled, felt good and returned to my chair with a renewed sense of happiness. Sometimes it's the little things we do. That man had just experienced such a surge of Joy. He has been given the opportunity to change the world with his new child. What a better way to start then to be the change you want to see in the world.
"Be the kindest person you can be and the world will come to you!" I have always maintained that. Congratulations to that mystery dad. I know that the best I can do for the team is to set the right example and doing the right thing all the time.
Here is today's question...?
How can you pay it forward today. What can you do that would give without asking for anything?
