Wally the Cab Driver
No one can make you serve customers well.....that's because great service is a choice.
Harvey Mackay, tells a wonderful story about a cab driver who
proved this point.
He was waiting in line for a ride at the airport. When a cab
pulled up, the first thing
to a bright shine. Smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie, and
freshly pressed black slacks, the cab driver jumped out and rounded the
car to open the back passenger door for
He handed my friend a laminated card and said: 'I'm Wally, your
driver. While I'm loading your bags in the trunk I'd like you to read my
mission statement.'
Taken aback,
Statement: To get my customers to their destination in the quickest,
safest and cheapest way possible in a friendly environment...
This blew
inside of the cab matched the outside. Spotlessly clean!
As he slid behind the wheel, Wally said, 'Would you like a cup
of coffee? I have a thermos of regular and one of decaf.' My friend said
jokingly, 'No, I'd prefer a soft drink.' Wally smiled and said, 'No
problem I have a cooler up front with regular and Diet Coke, water and
orange juice..' Almost stuttering,
Handing him his drink, Wally said, 'If you'd like something to
read, I have The Wall Street Journal, Time, Sports Illustrated and
Today.'
As they were pulling away, Wally handed my friend another
laminated card, 'These are the stations I get and the music they play,
if you'd like to listen to the radio.'
And as if that weren't enough, Wally told
air conditioning on and asked if the temperature was comfortable for
him. Then he advised
that time of day. He also let him know that he'd be happy to chat and
tell him about some of the sights or, if
with his own thoughts.
'Tell me, Wally,' my amazed friend asked the driver, 'have you
always served customers like this?'
Wally smiled into the rear view mirror. 'No, not always.. In
fact, it's only been in the last two years. My first five years driving,
I spent most of my time complaining like all the rest of the cabbies do.
Then I heard the personal growth guru, Wayne Dyer, on the radio one day.
He had just written a book called You'll See It When You Believe
It. Dyer said that if you get up in the morning expecting to have a bad
day, you'll rarely disappoint yourself. He said, 'Stop complaining!
Differentiate yourself from your competition. Don't be a duck. Be an
eagle. Ducks quack and complain. Eagles soar above the crowd..'
'That hit me right between the eyes,' said Wally. 'Dyer was
really talking about me. I was always quacking and complaining, so I
decided to change my attitude and become an eagle. I looked around at
the other cabs and their drivers. The cabs were dirty, the drivers were
unfriendly, and the customers were unhappy. So I decided to make some
changes. I put in a few at a time. When my customers responded well, I
did more.'
'I take it that has paid off for you,'
'It sure has,' Wally replied. 'My first year as an eagle, I
doubled my income from the previous year. This year I'll probably
quadruple it. You were lucky to get me today. I don't sit at cabstands
anymore. My customers call me for appointments on my cell phone or leave
a message on my answering machine. If I can't pick them up myself, I get
a reliable cabbie friend to do it and I take a piece of the action.'
Wally was phenomenal. He was running a limo service out of a
Yellow Cab. I've probably told that story to more than fifty cab drivers
over the years, and only two took the idea and ran with it. Whenever I
go to their cities, I give them a call. The rest of the drivers quacked
like ducks and told me all the reasons they couldn't do any of what I
was suggesting..
Wally the Cab Driver made a different choice. He decided to stop
quacking like ducks and start soaring like eagles.
How about us? Smile, and the whole world smiles with you... The
ball is in our hands!
We reap what we sow. Let us not become weary in doing good, for
at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up... let us
do good to all people.
Ducks Quack, Eagles Soar.
Have a nice day, unless you already have other plans.
SORROW looks back, WORRY looks around, and FAITH looks UP...
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about
learning to dance in the rain."

Celebrating Peace Together
Peace day 2010 was such an amazing success, with events all around the globe people from around the globe came together to celebrate the Peace that is created everyday. With the help of PeaceDay .TV Peace in OUR Lifetimes events were broadcast to over 1000 websites with over 172,000 viewers a minute. Over `173 million people were personally invited to attend Peace events all over the planet. Even the United Nations website broadcast Peace Events from nations around the globe. The hard work and dedication of too many people to mention made it possible to highlight the amazing work that saves lives on Peace Day... and makes it possible to focus on the peace that is created everyday.
I would like to take a moment to pay tribute to the people behind the scenes whose countless hours of dedication have made it possible to bring together so many organizations to stand together as one voice for peace on peace day.
Even though the official Peace Day 2010 is over this year, we still have cause to celebrate. Let us Stand together in celebration of the life of an outstanding citizen. The Memorial Service of Dr. Robert Muller will be carried live on www.peaceday.tv on Monday the 27th of September at 11:00 am Pacific Time ~ / 2:00 pm Eastern from Santa Barbara, California. A tribute page has been put up as well at: www.peaceday.tv/drmullertribute ~ after the memorial service there will be an international call-in for those wishing to share stories and feelings.
