CARE and the great impact it has

This week I experienced two moments which showed me how much it means to go the extra mile in everything you do. It shows you CARE.

Make what you do everyday MEAN something to you.

I took my jeep in to have the aircon refilled with gas and the service attendant told me afterwards my doors were really squeaky and he had oiled both of them.

Yes this squeak had been bugging me for months, but this gentleman cared enough to do it out of courtesy without me asking.

The second person is my hair dresser in one of the small Lebanese places I pop in for a wash and blowdry. Even after being on her feet for 12 hours, she still manages to make me feel as if I am her first customer of the day – she loves my hair and as I have tons of it, most cringe at the thought of spending 45 minutes tackling the mane!. Yet she loves spending time making it look beautiful and even when I want to rush out to end it the session – she stills says – “no serum…please sit down, not finished”

It’s just the love of those who even may not earn what they are worth in monetary value for the skills they do, but it’s the fact that they are doing it for love and every time it's done properly. Both of these individuals reminded me of the better person I can be to take care and pride in everything I do, no matter how small the task or person in involved.
