Tom Peter’s Greeting Test
Smile and the world smile backs..well not always, depending on which City you live according to Tom Peters! I am actually enjoying his blogs even with all his ranting and raving.
On his early morning walks, Tom Peters been greeting people to gauge the friendliness of cities in the US like Georgetown and Charleston.
So how often do you respond to strangers who greet you in the morning? Most people do in Toronto. My walking buddy is a chirpy morning person after her concoction from Starbucks. Its always fun and insightful to see how she connects to people and everything around her. Even while deep in conversation, she will be the first to notice the worm on the ground waiting to be squished. She will stop and put it back in the earth.
Not being a morning person, I think I mostly “sleep walk”. However, I have learned from Cindy… to take more notice of the world around me and greet strangers or at the very least be open to smile back…You just never know the impact you might have on someone’s day!
Cindy, I agree, our walks our long overdue..lets talk! And Tom by they way, Toronto is a lovely place to walk!
