A doctor and a friend were talking at a party. Their conversation was constantly interrupted by people describing their ailments and asking the doctor for free medical advice.
After an hour of this, the exasperated doctor asked the lawyer, "what do you do to stop people asking legal advice when you are out of office "
"i give it to them " replied the lawyer "and send them a bill". The doctor was shocked but agreed to give it a try.
The next day still feeling slightly guilty, prepared the bills. When he went to place them in the mail box he found a bill from the lawyer.
Ha!Ha! Ha!funny but have you heard of leadership by example.You may many a time be an expert in advising people, "do this! no, not that way", well it may be done but leadership by example causes it to be done and done right cos you've given them a reason to trust you and also you have given a format to be followed or developed upon.
Don't just tell or advice people , take the lead and show by example- send a bill

branding
Ever heard that to create a business you need to have a unique selling product or service , something that sets you apart from you competitors, something that they can trace and refer to you and you only.
Thats the way we should live our lives, give a unique piece of ourselves that no one can do- a branding.
For example, a friend o mine always washed the plates he found in the sink when he went to the kitchen even if he was tired or had something doing that whenever his mum came there and found the place so neat, she could say without a shadow of doubt that he'd been around OR
This friend of mine who one day for the sake of time couldn't do his homework so copied that of another was reprimanded not for wrong answers but because the teacher knew he had not done the work himself.
See thats the way our lives have to be a piece of ourselves in everything.Maybe, smile to everyone you meet, if asked to wash plates, you also dry them, you know youirself beter and know what yu can do to make you unique and special to others - DO THAT.
Brain teaser; What is it that married men give to their wives, the catholic priest have it but don't use it, Arnold Schwarzenegger has a long one?
