I can’t say that I’m willing to say I’m like Barack. Seems like a change to get the “You are no Jack Kennedy” speech of my life. That said, thanks.

You’ve pretty much nailed it. Be nice. Beget niceness. Seems easy, and yet… : )

Amazing how many folks don’t do it.

It’s easy to overlook such similarities–GOOD EYE!!

Its too true that we don’t always show how much we appreciate others’ help. I read somewhere that the #1 complaint people have about their job is no recognition for their hard work. I know in my own managerial experience that even when someone was threatening to quit over money, thanking them and showing my thanks for their hard work often smoothed things over better than a raise ever did.
