Torrential rainstorms were knocking down power lines all over town. That meant, as a customer service rep for the electric company, I was dispatching repairmen right and left.

The weary lineman replied, "Ma'am, I'll be coming to you in a truck, not an envelope."
"Don't ask kids what they want to be when they grow up but what problems do they want to solve. This changes the conversation from who do I want to work for, to what do I need to learn to be able to do that."

"When my husband, Mark, took his beat-up pickup truck to our insurance agent for a pre-insurance inspection, the teen-age receptionist was sent to look over the truck. Armed with a checklist and a few simple questions, she breezed through the chore.

Mark replied, "It's a '65 Ford." Apologetic about its desperate condition, he added, "It's an old fossil."
"Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always."
