]]> Comment on A Powerful Shot-In-the Arm For ALL Baby Boomers! by Diane http://heartofsales.com/blog/2010/01/24/a-powerful-shot-in-the-arm-for-all-baby-boomers/comment-page-1/#comment-176 Diane Mon, 28 Nov 2011 17:12:01 +0000 http://heartofsales.com/blog/?p=32#comment-176 Geoffrey, I take your intelligent comments as a great compliment. As I see you, you too, have a gift with the written word and the astute wisdom to know what you are talking about. And I sense that you read my message that is written in between the lines of my blog. I am 65 and when I was young girl I was a very successful elementary school teacher. At 30 I left teaching to raise my own three wonderful boys. I remember when I left I said to myself, “I am not going to come back to teaching elementary school. But, someday I will teach again, but I will be teaching adults, instead.” And that is exactly where I am now. However, never did I dream that the world was going to turn itself upside down like it has – that now I am teaching young adults all that I taught my delightful 5th graders long ago - LIFE SKILLS! And you make a brilliant point that I know too. Many of these young people are so bright, quick, multi-skilled and talented - far more than we were at their age. But they are desperately lacking the richest ingredient that we had the opportunity to learn - how to treasure the value of our elders and those wiser than ourselves. So, more and more, what I see to be becoming my true calling in this work: Is to write and teach the rich "Recipe of Life" that these young people so desperately need to savor so they can genuinely blossom into their own delightful right with happiness and heart! For, without embracing this recipe and taking it to heart, the value of the human element will become extinct! And I am open to any ingredients you have to offer for this Recipe. Again, thank you for your beautiful words! Diane Geoffrey,

Thank you! How quickly we forget all our blessings, especially when we're ego-centric. It's interesting to see how life seems to take on a whole new hue when we start a process of service. To serve our youth is a noble objective, because they have so many sources from which they can develop and form their belief systems; and if we, the 'older generation' don't take the time and trouble to inculcate and engender wholesome ideals into their lives, then what they're hearing in the angry rap music they hear somehow becomes vindicated. If we feel they treat us poorly, it may be that they are reflecting what they feel emanating from us. Reach out to them - we do have a head start, and we can show them some wholesome 'shortcuts' What a wonderful piece. Thank you!

The message I so well remember about "G' is, he had a gift for teaching life skills in such a way that totally built your self-esteem without insulting your already fragile character. He could plants seeds for your success in such a way that you immediately got it and never forgot it. Yes, he was constantly teaching "with happiness and heart." Norm, Thanks for this great story.

I could hear G's voice in every word. He naturally practiced all of those people skills in his everyday life. And people loved him for it! And if he was selling something, they would have bought it. One of the jewels of advice that caught my attention related to "Keep your people skills polished; always extend a hand with a firm handshake or caring touch, look your guest in the eye and connect with a warm smile." It reminded me of my visit one summer in Santa Barbara where I stayed at your house on Owen Rd. I went with your Dad to collect rents at the old places down by the tracks. Seeing those places was memorable on its own, but I learned a life lesson too. G was taking me along and introducing me to people. They would say things like, "Nice to meet you," and I would just sort of smile and look down. When we got back to the car, he told me how he saw me respond and advised me in the future to firmly shake people's hands, look them eye, and say "Thank you, it's very nice to meet you TOO!" Can you hear his inflection in the word too? I can. That simple advice has served me well in life and my working career. Anyway, I loved all of your (G's) points, and it is a wonderful tribute to him. Hi Diane, I loved the whole tribute. I could hear G’s voice in every word.

And you really hit the "nail on the head" about his philosophy for life success. I can't tell you all the comments that are coming in from various places on the Internet. I have even had a request this morning to post this blog on one of the large sales groups in LinkedIn. Yes, "G" would be so pleased! Thank you! Diane Dear Joe,

What a beautiful response for “G’s” teachings. And you really hit the “nail on the head” about his philosophy for life success.
