A Very Special
Holiday Message
As we enter into the holidays I think it appropriate to pause and reflect upon this past year.
The year 2005 was not a positive one for many people around the world. Tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, and mud slides affected millions of lives. Natural disasters are common, of course, but we seemed to experience many more than normal in 2005.
And yet, as I talk to people around the world, it amazes and humbles me the strength and calm a lot of people possess. Although their lives are torn apart – no house, no job, no school, and sometimes no food or water – they remain steadfast and upbeat.
How can this be?
I think it is because they understand what really is important. Family comes first. They have faith in the spirit of family, and of sharing and caring for their loved ones.
They also have a great compassion for their neighbors and their communities where they live. Without this commitment no community could be rebuilt after a natural disaster. Teamwork is not some theoretical notion – it is understood as a necessary rebuilding component.
So what does any of this have to do with Internet Marketing?
There are several important messages for us.
First, what are our priorities? Do we spend enough time with our families throughout the year, or are we too "busy" trying to "get that last sale" or produce the perfect product? I encourage all of us to spend some quality time with our family over the holidays.
Second, do we possess a giving attitude? An Internet marketing business is no different than any other type of business. You must give before you can receive. Are we giving our customers, subscribers and prospects recommendations to high-quality products or services, or are we thinking only of ourselves and how to make the most money in the shortest period of time with the least amount of effort?
Third, do we have a commitment to our Internet community? Let's stop spammers by never buying from them through their emails (if we all did that, spam would not exist because there would be no financial incentive for them to send those emails). And let's make a promise to only promote products or services that offer real value.
And finally, let's regard life as a positive experience. We have so much to share with others. Lend a helping hand, and in return become a better person.
I'd like to leave you with a story I read many years ago that continues to touch my heart every time I read it. May the "hidden wisdom" in this story be your "secret" to success.
*******************************************
One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school.
His name was Kyle.
It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd."
I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.
As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.
His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him.
He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes
My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye.
As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives."
He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!" There was a big smile on his face.
It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before.
He said he had gone to private school before now.
I would have never hung out with a private school kid before.
We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books.
He turned out to be a pretty cool kid.
I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends. He said yes.
We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him.
Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again.
I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!"
He just laughed and handed me half the books.
Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. When we were seniors, we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke.
I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem.
He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship.
Kyle was valedictorian of our class.
I teased him all the time about being a nerd.
He had to prepare a speech for graduation.
I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak
Graduation day, I saw Kyle. He looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him.
Boy, sometimes I was jealous!
Today was one of those days.
I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!"
He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled.
"Thanks," he said.
As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began:
"Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends...
I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them.
I am going to tell you a story.
I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met.
He had planned to kill himself over the weekend.
He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home.
He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile.
Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."
I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment.
I saw his Mom and Dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its depth.
Never underestimate the power of your actions.
With one small gesture you can change a person's life.
For better or for worse.
God puts us all in each other's lives to impact one another in some way.
Look for God in others.
