Respect
If we treat each other with respect . . .
I was in the Oklahoma City airport when I saw a woman walking along with three little girls. They were skipping and singing, âDaddyâs coming home on a big jet! Daddyâs coming home on a big jet!â All excited! Eyes lit up like diamonds! Wild anticipation! They had never before met Daddy coming home on a jet. Their mother was so proud of them and their enthusiasm. You could see it in her eyes.
Then the plane arrived, the door opened, and the passengers streamed in. You didnât have to ask which one was Daddy. The girlsâ bright eyes were glued on him. But his first look was for his wife and seeing her, he yelled, âWhy didnât you bring my top coat?â and walked right past his adoring daughters. Here was a man who had an opportunity to be great, and he didnât recognize it.
I heard Charlie Cullen tell that story forty years ago, and I have never forgotten it.
How many times a day, a week, a month do we have the opportunity to be great through simple acts of kindness? In your Dash, never underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, or an honest compliment. We all have the potential to turn a life around.
