Where's your pride?

Regardless of what anyone does for a living, one thing that shines through is their pride in their efforts.  Maybe that shows in the proprietor sweeping their walk or the receptionist going the extra mile to connect you with the best person for your needs.  There are no "stupid" jobs.  There are no jobs that don't deserve your best effort.  Why?  Well, how you do one thing is how you do everything.  If you have no pride in workmanship when you are doing repetative day to day things or menial tasks, you can't suddenly be proud of your work when you decide you're doing something "important." 

One of my greatest delights is in coming across anyone excelling in attitude and skill at what they do.  Please take the time to compliment these folks; the cashiers who really keep the line flowing and smile at the ready; the hardware store clerk who really knows their products and lines you up with the best value; the mechanic who gives you a fix to meet your budget; the vet who really likes your dog....I could go on and on.

Pride in workmanship is something no one can take away from you, and it always stands out and helps to make someones day to be a part of.

Whether you drive a old Chevy or a new BMW, whether you live in a mobile or a penthouse, whether you are the boss or on the assembly line, the pride you take in how you care for your world shines through.

So it is with great Realtors who treat their profession as a service industry that deals in sales.  Pride is demonstrated in follow through, communication, ingenuity, persistence, courage and kindness.  The sale of a humble home is treated with the same respect as a multi-million dollar transaction. 

Hats off to all of you out there who show day in and day out what you're made of and how you care for your world!
