And You Are?

A wonderful storyteller by the name of C. W. Metcalf shared a story about a man in the airport who was verbally abusing an airline ticketing agent. The traveler had missed his flight due to mechanical difficulties and was being loud, demonstrative, and mean to the poor ticketing agent, who obviously had no control over the plane's condition. C. W. went up to the abusive man and asked, "Can I have your autograph?" When the man, puzzled and confused, asked, "Why do you want my autograph?" C. W. responded, "Because I've never met the center of the universe before!"

As Holiday season is now in full force, stop and think about how you treat others around you. Not only those people who are close to you, but those you have NEVER MET BEFORE.

(The person ringing up your purchase, the person taking your order, giving you your coffee, delivering your package, calling your number by accident at 3 am, cutting you off in traffic, passing you on the street, etc.)

So, remember that no matter how much money we have or how much money we are spending this holiday season at our favorite places...

WE ARE NOT THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE!
