"This is my commandment; Love each other in the same way I have loved you." John 15:12
Of the people you have worked for, how many can you honestly say cared about you as a person and not just as another cog in the corporate machine? My guess is that if you've had a boss or a manager who was truly interested in you and your goals in the work environment and cared about you personally, you will never forget his or her kindness. The wonderful thing about showing genuine concern for other people is that the giver gains as much as the receiver, if not more. There is a by-product of love for both giver and receiver that cant be quantified on a spreadsheet. Loving others is not easy. You have to make time for it in your busy schedule. It has to be an intentional part of your plan, one that you put in writing. and love's schedule is not always convenient. It's easy to say you want to show love, but its something else to truly commit yourself to doing it.
"When you help someone up a hill, you get that much closer to the top yourself."
