Why should they be any different than us? We too were geniuses at ten, eighteen and twenty-one. Remember how smart we thought we were back then? By the time we hit thirty, we felt like idiots, realizing how little we really knew! One strategy that works is posting ideas on the refrigerator. After all, kids love to eat and although they will pretend they do not see this, they will and each opening will remind them. We've created three different versions of Dr. Mark Goulston's articles "How do You Recognize a Jerk" and "How do you recognize a Mensch" which is another word for an everyday saint...a nice person you want in your life. One for girls, one for boys and one for us adults at work. Each version includes a low resolution JPG, (for those of you on dial-up) and a professional quality PDF (about 9MB) for those
of you with high speed internet or who want professional quality printing, (Kinkos will charge about $0.75 per copy and this can be uploaded directly to their site for printing at a Kinkos near you). Feel free to print as many copies as you need for your school, home or office. As long as they are given in tact and at no charge, you are not violating any copyright laws. We created these to help parents and employers remind their children or employees that the adage "You attract more flies with honey", basically, by being nice, you get
ahead, is true and not an old wives tale. So, How do you want people to remember you today? As a Jerk or a Mensch? Everyday provides a new opportunity to decide. The choice is up to you! |
