PASSAGE – 2
Many of you will go out and try to get the highest
paying job possible, regardless of the industry,
regardless of the opportunity, regardless of the
service, or product the company may provide. If
you chase money, it may catch you and if it
catches you, you will forever be its slave. By
letting money pursue you but never catch you,
you will always be its master. By always doing
what you love, loving what you do, delivering more
than you promise, you will always be underpaid -
which is how it should always be. If you are paid
mor e than you are worth, you may be
restructured, reengineered, replaced, declared
obsolete and disposed of. Overpaid people are
overdrawn in their knowledge bank account.
People who are under paid for the level and quality
of the service they provide are always in demand
and always ahead of the money in their knowledge
and contribution. So money and opportunity are
always chasing them.

It is not good manners to stop a person on the
street or in a shop, or in the performance of any
duty and to talk to him for ten, fifteen or twenty
minutes just to pass the time of day. We can tell
that a person is in a hurry to get somewhere, or
he is doing something, and we know enough not
to interrupt him for any length of time. Yet some
of us think nothing of calling someone on the
telephone, interrupting him without a thought
about what he may be doing, and chattering away,
forgetting about time or anything else. Perhaps
we don't consider our telephone conversation an
interruption because we don't see what we have
interrupted. Naturally we must observe the
common courtesies over the telephone. But we
must remember that one of the courtesies of
telephoning is to be brief.
Never ask anybody to guess who you are. The
person you are telephoning may not be in a
guessing mood. If you know him, you may want
to ask after the state of his health and that of his
family, but as soon as you possibly can, do get on
with your business. He certainly wants to know
why you are telephoning him. When you are
finished with your business, you might take a
moment to observe the natural courtesies of
conversation, expressing your thanks before
ending your call.
From the way the telephone is used in your
home, you would hardly suspect that this is an
instrument on which very important business
transactions are conducted. There are times
when even you are called upon to be business
like, brief, and effective on the telephone.

like
