It Can’t Happen Here? We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth. Virginia Satir We always teach people to hug each other in our workshops and seminars. Most people respond by saying, “You could never hug people where I work.” Are you sure? Here is a Letter from a graduate of one of our seminars. Dear Jack, I started out this day in rather a bleak mood. My friend Rosalind stopped over and asked me if I was giving hugs today. I just grumbled something but then I begun to think about hugs and everything during the week. I would look at the sheet you gave us on How to keep the Seminar Alive and I would cringe when I got to the part about giving and getting hugs because I couldn’t imagine giving hugs to the people at work. Well I decided to make it “hugs day” and I started giving hug to the customers who came to my counter. It was great to see how people just brightened up. An MBA student jumped up on top of the counter and did a dance. Some people actually came back and asked for more. These two Xerox repair guys, who were kind of just walking along not really talking to each other, were so surprised, They just woke up and suddenly were talking and laughing down the ball. It feels like I hugged everybody in the Wharton Business School, plus whatever was wrong with me this morning, which included some physical pain, is all gone. I’m sorry that this letter is so long but I’m just really excited. The neatest thing was, at one point there were about 10 People all hugging each other out in front of my counter. I couldn’t believe this was happening. Love, Pamela Rogers P.S..: On the way home I hugged a policeman on 37th street. He said, “Wow! A policeman never gets hugs. Are you sure you don’t want to throw something at me?” Another seminar graduate sent us the following piece on hugging. Hugging is Hugging is healthy. It helps the immune system, cures depression, reduces stress and induces sleep. It’s Invigorating, rejuvenating and has no unpleasant side effects. Hugging is nothing less than a miracle drug. Hugging is all natural. It is organic, naturally sweet, no artificial Ingredients, nonpolluting, environmentally friendly and 100 percent wholesome. Hugging is the Ideal gift. Great for any occasions, fun to give and receive, shows you care, comes with its awn wrapping and, of course, fully returnable. Hugging is practically perfect. No batteries to wear out, inflation-proof, nonfattening, no monthly payments, theft proof and non-taxable. Hugging is an underutilize resource with magical powers. When we open our hearts and arms, we encourage others to do the same. Think of the people in your life. Are there any words you’d like to say? Are there any hugs you want to share? Are you waiting and hoping someone else will ask first? Please don’t wait! Initiate! Charles Faraone Jack Canfield
