I used to be a corporate trainer for a retail company and this story was standard fare during customer service training... you simply never know what someone else is going through and your smile and positive attitude might just change a life. And whenever someone treats me badly, I try to remember it. I don't always succeed, certainly, but more often than not, I do :)Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16637670293642285740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422526707436212403.post-45622785164400758452008-10-21T08:30:00.000-04:002008-10-21T08:30:00.000-04:00Philo was a pretty wise man.
