A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Richard M.J. Jarosz
---------------------------------------------------------------------
What others think of you is important, as long as it matches with what you
think of yourself. If you are recognized by others as a positive person who always makes
an important contribution, you will be in demand, for there are never enough such people
in any organization. Your customers will appreciate you, and your boss will recognize and
reward you if you stick with it. You most likely will not become an overnight success, but
neither will you fail instantly and permanently. Make it a habit to go the extra mile with
a Positive Mental Attitude. That may include how you dress, your actions and even
your smallest conversations with others.
Share the Love! We are giving away a $50 Gift
Certificate for the Sand Bar WaterFront Restaurant in Brielle and a $25 Gift Certificate
to The Corner Bagelry & Deli in Sea Girt! All you have to do is forward this
newsletter to friends and family. Use the "forward email" link at the bottom so
we can keep track of them. The person forwarding the most will get the $50 Certificate and
the 2nd most will get the $25. You have until Valentine's day to get it done!

Kiva is an organization that makes loans to people in "underprivileged" areas
throughout the world (including the US). Applicants ask for a loan amount, then loans are
then backed by lenders like you and me, in minimum $25 increments. This helps increase
their ability to raise their standard of living. Check out www.Kiva.org
for more info. I like that it's a helping hand, rather than a hand-out.
