Treat Everyone w Respect (It Might Get You Breakfast) This morning, I went to go have breakfast at the country club Ive been frequenting over the last few weeks. And when I got there some kind of youth camp was going on. When I went to place my order there must have been 50 teenagers in line in front of me. I kinda smiled to myself thinking this is life trying to teach me patience (a lesson I dont think Ill ever learn). But after standing in line for a couple of minutes a gentleman who works for the club named Leroy noticed me and quickly came over. Leroy said, Sir, are you gonna be eating breakfast this morning? Yes, I replied. Do you mind if I whip you up something special, it wont take me no time? With a smile so big I could have eaten a banana sideways I said, That would be great Leroy! You see, this was my third time there. The first time Leroy brought out my food and I spent a few minutes learning about Leroy. I genuinely listened to him and thanked him for bringing my food. Moral of my story and the reason why I chose to share it w you: Something I learned a long time ago was to treat everyone w respect regardless of their gender, beliefs, economic situation, etc. This has served me very well over the years. And it not only saved me a ton of time this morning it also got me an amazing breakfast. But do you know what it ultimately got me? A new friend. I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university. -Einstein
