I picked up a book (Christmas present from my bosses) a couple of days ago, wanted to share this part with you guys/gals.
Becoming a person of influence by John C Maxwell & Jim Dornan;
An amusing story about the impact of influence comes from the administration of President Calvin Coolidge. An overnight guest at the White House was having breakfast with Coolidge one morning, and he wanted to make a good impression on the president. He noticed that Coolidge, having been served his coffee, took the coffee cup, poured some of its contents into a deep saucer, and leisurely added a little bit of sugar and cream. Not wanting to breach any rules of etiquette, the visitor followed the commander n chief's lead, and he poured some of his coffee into his saucer and added sugar and cream. Then he waited for the president's next move. He was horrified to see him place the saucer on the floor for the cat. No one reported what the visitor did next.
Well, i couldn't help giggling after reading this and wonder how this man get off the 'stage'. oh well, everyone of us will get "one of this day".
i was just thinking aloud, if you are that man, what would you do? in another word, what would be your response?
