Good Morning,
The day began with prayer and a hot cup of Door County Pumpkin Spice Coffee.
Proverbs 3:27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.
Over the weekend my buddies and I entered a contest to see who could shoot a pheasant with the longest tail feathers. It was a team event. Our team had five guys on it and we were on a game farm hunting birds that were released in a field. Our dogs flushed a lot of birds and we were able to shoot all of the ones that were flushed. One of my buddies flushed one just by walking next to it. So he gets credit for one flush. Our two dogs Waylon and Leo retrieved all of the downed birds. They did most of the work. Us hunters shot pretty well and we can take credit as a team.
Later on back at the club house one of the guys took advantage of the offer to have his birds cleaned by a young boy who just started working for the club. (Game Farm). Once I was home the text messages started and pictures were posted. A comment from the fella who had his birds cleaned by this 11 or twelve year old boy, shared on what a good job the youngster did on the birds.
I took that comment and sent it to the owner of the club. I am positive that he shared the comment with the young man.
It is always important to share a compliment with the person a worker reports to. We are all ready to complain when things are just not perfect. But we are slow to take that extra step and appreciate a job well done. I saw the work ethic of a young boy on a frigid day. If he continues in life the way I witnessed him work, whatever his profession ends up to be, he will be an asset to his team.
So when a job is done well, say thank you and extend a compliment. If appropriate leave a tip ( we did) to show your appreciation.
Food for thought!
Marty
