Like many, I ate too much last night. But it was fun and worth this uncomfortable morning-after feeling. Those will probably be the most common comments today around offices everywhere. Because we like sharing stories about the good times – that’s human nature. But the tendency is usually to snap back to being all business on the Monday after as if thankfulness and business somehow can’t co-exist in the workplace. If we’ve learned anything in the past 18 months, it’s that being human and showing human feelings is great for performance and job satisfaction. Be thankful for your colleagues, family, and friends today and every day: let them know how you are doing and be curious about what’s going on with them. Listen to people’s needs, be there in that moment, and offer what you can. The real test is keeping this humanness and thankfulness going: start by sharing it today.
W. Clement Stone (1902 – 2002): American businessman and author
