A Smile or a Kind Word Goes a Long Way


Last week at work a colleague stopped me to tell the following story:

The night before, whilst at a family dinner, he was relating to his family that some promotions had occurred at work. His son, now a nineteen year old man, asked him whether Ben had received a promotion. I asked him how his son knew me. He related that nine years ago (when his son was nine!) he had taken his son to work. He said I must have been nice to him because he remembered me and asks how I'm doing from time to time.

A smile or a kind word can go a long way!
