In this new expansion program, you are providing a necessary and needed ingredient in the lives of young people. This is something I taught my three daughters at an early age and it does take you far in life. It not only builds character but enhances self esteem and adds to the layer we call confidence. Example: my eldest daughter and I were attending a semi-formal banquet at a four star hotel when she was a Sophomore in high school. She learned at an early age table etiquette and the order in which you use your utensils (practice at home makes perfect away from home). When the food was served we both noticed that everyone at the table was watching us as from placing the napkins in our lap, eating with one hand and the other in our lap right down to using the flatware from the outside in. Those who were cutting their meat improperly or grabbing the wrong fork immediately corrected themselves after observing. After we left the event, my daughter said to me, "mom thank you for teaching me those things about etiquette. I noticed we were setting the example for everyone at the table, including the other adults. And mom, I felt proud that I knew the right thing to do at this type of event". I too was not only proud of her but pleased to see that one can set an example and make changes regardless of how small-the impact is great. <br /> <br /> Here is a business tip to go along with my point. If a potential employer takes you out to dinner because you are being considered for a position in leadership; if you season your food before tasting it you will most likely be passed over for that job. Reasoning, if you would season your food before tasting it you would make poor judgment decisions regarding the business. You must first try a thing in order to know if it is in need of anything else.<br /> <br /> My personal motto is this what you see children do out in public is a reflection of what is and is not being enforced at home. Kudos to you for being a rebuilding trailblazer to restore these values of old to this new generation. <br /> <br /> Continued growth and success on this journey of life.
