I know these posts are usually for sharing innovative ideas and the 
latest/coolest trend, but wanted to ask if you'd consider a few 
things. I'll try to keep it relevant.

1. I'm pretty old school and love the idea of a handwritten note or 
letter expressing something, communicating or thanking someone, but 
technology has taken the place of doing a lot of this. Specifically, 
we can send or share our thoughts with anyone and everyone in a tiny 
second - social media being our venue.

Despite the irony, consider this: Since we all can't hand-write a note or be be physically present today, maybe it could be a neat support system to post something 
on your facebook wall about anyone who means something 
to you. Would be interesting to see how many people posted words from 
the heart rather than what they ate for lunch. Just a thought.

2. At times, it seems we've forgotten some of the basics for everyone 
at work, one of them being to remember that a simple pat on the back 
goes a long way. Not just to your peers, but to someone who you don't 
know very well that made your project successful. Go find them.

3. It's one of our own 5 words, but really LISTEN to people, in and 
out of work. We're all busy and there will never be enough time in this life. But 
the outcome of the time you take, and the relationships you create, is 
what I think leads to success, in whatever form.

Practice using your words, speak your mind, and don't let anyone interrupt.
