Recently the salesman who helped me when I bought my new CD player was a great help and extremely personable. I so appreciated the wonderful service he gave me that I asked his name and told him I would email his manager and praise him for the excellent assistance he provided. He of course was very pleased and gave me his name, Justin Sharpee. I explained to him that I had taught school years ago and like many other employees, I remember the number of compliments I received paled in comparison to the criticisms. And so ever since then, I always try to take the time and give recognition to those who deserve it.
We then chatted a bit more and I mentioned that I had also sold real estate. “That’s a coincidence,” he said, “ I have a couple of aunts who taught school and my Dad sells real estate.”
“You’re kidding!” I exclaimed. “Is your Dad, Steve Sharpee?”
“Why, yes,” he replied in complete surprise.
“Justin,” I continued, “Your Dad and I worked for the same real estate company 35 years ago.”
