I want to recognize each step as I take and each person I see as potential for magic and growth to occur, be it helping out by saying the right word someone needs to hear, or divine intervention, or being the one helped. I want each day and each moment to be a gift appreciated.

I think the whole predatory attitude of businesses that measure success as short term gain (revenue-per-quarter) is wrongheaded and actually kind of self-defeating. That's the kind of mindset that leads to spam and telemarketing. Business, like life, is all about relationships. Relationships based on greed never work. Relationships based on respect are always better.
