Every Life Has a Story

Every life has a story.

You never know what is going on in someone else’s life. We all have battles to fight and we all have problems to fix. Life can be hard.

Chic Fil A does a wonderful job of training their employees to recognize people as human beings. That is why you are served your food with your name and not just a number. The link below is just part of the training Chic Fil A employees get. I hope it makes you stop and think as well.

A Lesson from Pancakes

 

A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin 5, and Ryan 3. The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake. Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson...

'If Jesus were sitting here, He would say,
'Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait.'
Kevin turned to his younger brother and said,
' Ryan, you be Jesus!'

A cute joke about kids, but don’t we all still have that tendency in us as adults. We are competitive and robust. We want to win! And winning is truly important in sports and business. But when it comes to interpersonal relationships, it can destroy them.

If you want to truly build strong, long-lasting and productive teams, remember you are dealing with human beings. We all want to be appreciated and valued. A true leader will always take the second pancake.
