Customer Service as Self Respect


Did you ever stop to think that the quality of your work demonstrates your personal level of self respect? Indeed it is not often that we get to see our self respect made visible. Yet, if you think about it, the quality of your work displays your self respect. If you have a high regard for the quality of who you are and if you realize that you are driven towards the good of others your work will show it. That's right, the quality of your work is a barometer of who you are!

In other words the product of your efforts displays your internal self. Don't fool yourself, you know that you want to be your best. However, in order to be the best, it is not a mere "wishing" to be your best. Displaying your best means that you take a 'basic stance' before you start work. You start from a firm understanding that you have something to contribute to others.

In other words you understand that within you lies much good that can be shared with others.

Hiding the good within you keeps you from being a success. So if you want to be a success start demonstrating quality work. Once you see it you will be pleased. Once you are pleased you will repeat it. Once you repeat it you start to get good at it.

Remember the "Karate Kid" - his mentor told him to "Wax on and Wax Off". He thought that did not make sense. He did not know that repetition pays off in quality and improvement.

Display your self respect by doing a good job!
