A Word about Picky People

Today I want to talk about “picky people”. 

They are the good guys.  They wear white hats. 

The “picky people” I am speaking of are those rare individuals who are very picky about the words they use with family members, friends, associates, employees and common man/common woman in everyday life.

You know the ones – you always feel better after having been around them.  They find ways of adding value to your life.  They lift you up when you are down.  They encourage you.  They tell you something good about you.  They are often the first ones to speak when coming into a fresh situation, and they offer a smile, an acknowledgement and awareness in the moment that you are the most important person around.

You know – picky people.  People who are picky about the words they use and they way they treat their fellow man.

Picky people in management help lower the risk of stroke in their employees by 30%.  Proven fact – (see How Full Is Your Bucket by Tom Rath and Donald O. Clifton)

Picky people in leadership have a higher employee retention rate. 

Picky people who walk the streets of any city are the ones who make a difference in everyday life.

Our words, our demeanor, and our attitude matters in...

~Wait-persons who take your breakfast order today

~Sales clerks who serve you

~The McDonald's order taker and the one who hands you your food

~The policeman walking his beat

~The Meter-Maid/Meter Mister who gives you a ticket you know you deserve

Be a picky person.  Pick your words carefully and add to someone’s life experience today.
