Ten Quotes Addressing the Topic of SERVICE


 
by John Hogan, October 15, 2010

I believe that each of us has truly GREAT and original ideas at different times in our lives. We are likewise inspired by others at times by reading their books or sometimes a simple quote. 

I often use quotes in my columns, as reinforcements for a position I have or providing credit to others who provided me with an inspiration or a starting point. I also use quotes in many of my training presentations as well, in both the full programs and in breaks.  I know they are effective, as I receive requests for copies from many participants following these sessions.

Below are ten quotes that address the topic of SERVICE.
 

1. Service Is The Opportunity to
Make a Difference in
Someone�s Life.

2. �Nobody can make you feel
inferior without your consent.� 
Eleanor Roosevelt

3. The first step
toward great SERVICE is�.
Willingness

4. If your company has a 
Mission Statement,
memorize it.

5. �Nothing great was
ever achieved without 
Enthusiasm� 
Ralph Waldo Emerson

6. When you wholeheartedly
adopt a �with your heart�
attitude and go out with the positive principle,
you can do incredible things.

7. Live your life 
and
forget your age.

8. In the real world there are 
YES and NO.

In SERVICE there are
Yes and 
�May I suggest the following?� 

9. Never use the word
�impossible�
seriously again.

Toss it into the verbal wastebasket.

10. �When people talk, listen completely.
Most people never listen.�
Ernest Hemingway
