Life is like a game of tennis

Sunday last was just amazing as I sat up watching the match between Andy Roddick and Roger Federer. Almost every game, the final set in particular - I was either tweeting or chatting with friends on the possibility of a Roddick win. I wasn't totally shocked or surprised about Roger setting a record and winning his 15th Slam - He definitely is a true champion. Whenever we hear the Champions speak after they set records, they all often say that they never started playing the game with that intent. Neither do they sit back and relax after achieving the unprecedented feats. Roger in fact mentioned that he will go on to play the game with passion as he just loves it and if he can win more, its all the better.

I like MacAnderson's blogs, quotes and books. Even though I have not read his book "Charging the Human battery" completely, I thought it will be great to pick up one page of this book and pen it down for you. It talks about "Tennis and Service"

"Serve and Grow rich". Someone once said, "Life is like a game of tennis. The player who serves well seldom loses". Financial wealth is fleeting but what we do for others is lasting.

Serving others makes us feel good about ourselves because in our heart's we know it's the right thing to do. As Martin wright said "Service is the rent we pay for being. It is the very purpose of life and not something you do in your spare time". Even the simplest gestures demonstrates this - think about opening the door for someone. They say "thank you" - You say "You are welcome". Your heart smiles because you feel good about yourself. You did the right thing.

Create a Service culture, where your employees focus on serving the customer and serving each other. Good things will happen and you create a company about which everyone who works is proud of. People definitely understand that Customers pay the bills and their salaries. However it is serving each other with a smile in the heart, that makes it a great place to work.

Delight yourself first to delight people around you. Most importantly, make your choice NOW!
