| THE STORY |
DUCKS QUACK, EAGLES
SOAR
-----------------------------
No one can make you serve customers well. That's because
great service is a choice. Harvey Mackay, tells a wonderful
story about a cab driver that proved this point.
He was waiting in line
for a ride at the airport. When a cab pulled up, the first
thing Harvey noticed was that the taxi was polished to a
bright shine. Smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie,
and freshly pressed black slacks, the cab driver jumped
out and rounded the car to open the back passenger door
for Harvey.
He handed my friend a laminated card and said: 'I'm Wally,
your driver. While I'm loading your bags in the trunk I'd
like you to read my mission statement.’ Taken aback, Harvey
read the card.
It said: Wally's Mission Statement: "To get my
customers to their destination in the quickest, safest and
cheapest way possible in a friendly environment."
This blew Harvey away.
Especially when he noticed that the inside of the cab matched
the outside. Spotlessly clean!
As he slid behind the wheel,
Wally said, 'Would you like a cup of coffee? I have a thermos
of regular and one of decaf.'
My friend said jokingly, 'No, I'd prefer a soft drink.'
Wally smiled and said, 'No problem. I have a cooler up front
with regular and Diet Coke, water and orange juice.'
Almost stuttering, Harvey said, 'I'll take a Diet Coke.'
Handing him his drink, Wally said, 'If you'd like something
to read, I have The Wall Street Journal, Time, Sports Illustrated
and USA Today.'
As they were pulling away,
Wally handed my friend another laminated card, 'These are
the stations I get, if you'd like to listen to the radio.'
And as if that weren't enough, Wally told Harvey that he
had the air conditioning on and asked if the temperature
was comfortable for him.
Then he advised Harvey of the best route to his destination
for that time of day. He also let him know that he'd be
happy to chat and tell him about some of the sights or,
if Harvey preferred, to leave him with his own thoughts.
'Tell me, Wally,' my amazed friend asked the driver, 'have
you always served customers like this?'
Wally smiled into the rear view mirror. 'No, not always.
In fact, it's only been in the last two years.
My first five years driving,
I spent most of my time complaining like all the rest of
the cabbies do. Then I heard a personal growth expert, on
the radio one day. He had just written a book called "You'll
See It When You Believe It." He said that "if
you get up in the morning expecting to have a bad day, you’ll
rarely disappoint yourself. He said, 'Stop complaining!
Differentiate yourself from your competition. Don't be a
duck. Be an eagle. Ducks quack and complain. Eagles soar
above the crowd.''
'That hit me right between the eyes,' said Wally. 'The expert
was really talking about me. I was always quacking and complaining,
so I decided to change my attitude and become an eagle.
I looked around at the other cabs and their drivers. The
cabs were dirty, the drivers were unfriendly, and the customers
were unhappy. So I decided to make some changes. I put in
a few at a time. When my customers responded well, I did
more.'
'I take it that has paid off for you,' Harvey said.
'It sure has,' Wally replied.
'My first year as an eagle, I doubled my income from the
previous year. This year I'll probably quadruple it. You
were lucky to get me today. I don't sit at cabstands anymore.
My customers call me for appointments on my cell phone or
leave a message on my answering machine. If I can't pick
them up myself, I get a reliable cabbie friend to do it
and I take a piece of the action.'
Wally was phenomenal. He
was running a limo service out of a Yellow Cab. I’ve probably
told that story to more than fifty cab drivers over the
years, and only two took the idea and ran with it. Whenever
I go to their cities, I give them a call. The rest of the
drivers quacked like ducks and told me all the reasons they
couldn't do any of what I was suggesting.
Wally the Cab Driver made
a different choice. He decided to stop quacking like ducks
and start soaring like eagles.
How about us?
A man reaps what he sows. Let us not become weary in doing
good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we
do not give up.

Guantanamo
release angers Bush. The men come from China's Xinjiang province.
A US judge has ordered the release of 17 Chinese Muslim detainees
from the US detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in
what has been seen as a rebuke to the Bush administration.
US district judge Ricardo Urbina said there was no evidence
the men were a security risk and that the US constitution
prohibits indefinite detention without cause.
The
United Nations Security Council has approved unanimously a
resolution urging nations to send more naval ships and military
aircraft to stop piracy off the coast of Somalia. The resolution,
drafted by France and adopted on Tuesday, said pirates posed
a "serious threat" to deliveries of aid to the Horn
of Africa nation, where around 3.5 million people are dependent
on them.
Taxi
operators in the Nelson Mandela Metro took to the streets
of Port Elizabeth to protest against Chinese-imported taxis
known as Inyathis. The vehicles have been approved by government
but the operators say they are lacking in quality and break
down regularly. The Inyathi was approved and recommended by
government nearly three years ago as taxis that meet its recapitalisation
programme's standards. But protesters who have bought the
vehicles say they are rubbish.
Student
bodies at the Potchefstroom campus of the North West University
are calling for the immediate suspension of three students
implicated in a racist group on the Facebook website. The
university management indicated that disciplinary action will
be taken against those involved, following the outcome of
the investigation.
A
4 month old baby girl from Rustenburg in the North West was
not harmed while lying in her cot, staring at roughly 45,000
bees building a hive on the ceiling above her. Her father
discovered the swarm when he went to check on her. He phoned
a bee keeper who grabbed his equipment and rushed to the scene.
Fortunately, the baby was lying under a mosquito net which
is used while she sleeps. The bee keeper did not remove the
child from the room as it would have aggravated the bees.
He sucked them up with a bee vacuum, and securely closed them
in a holding cage. |

| HEALTH TIPs |
Once
Governor Hajjaj said to a certain physician: Tell me such
a medicine which I shall use. The physician said: Don't eat
except the meat of a stout and strong animal. Don't eat food
unless well-cooked. Don't use medicine except in illness.
Don't eat fruits unless ripe. Don't eat food unless it is
chewed well. Eat what you like but don't drink water after
it. Don't eat anything after drinking water. Don't hold up
stool and urine. Sleep a little after breakfast and walk a
little after dinner before going to bed but not less than
one hundred steps. It is said that if urine is held up, it
is harmful to the body, just as everything around a stream
is destroyed if it is held up.

| A THOUGHT |
MARRIAGE,
PEACE OF MIND
----------------------------
Marriage brings peace in mind and there grows love between
the couple. This peace of mind is necessary for divine service.
Allah
says: He created you from a single person and created his
mate from him, so that he may find consolation in her. Sayyadina
Ali RA said: Give peace to mind as it becomes blind when it
becomes disturbed. There is a Hadith that states: "there
are three special times for a wise man; he speaks secretly
with his lord at one time, he takes accounts of his actions
at another time and he remains busy with his food and drink
at another time."
In another narration, a wise man in not desirous expect of
three matters: "to earn the livelihood of the next world,
to earn the livelihood of this world and to taste lawful things."
The
Prophet Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam said: "There is effort
in every action and there is calmness in every effort. He
who takes calmness goes towards my Sunnah and guidance."
The Prophet Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam said: "Three things
are dear to me among your earthly matter - scent, women and
prayer - the latter is the doll of my eyes." This comfort
is necessary for peace of mind.

| THE SMILE |
An
Elderly couple were celebrating their sixtieth anniversary.
The couple had married as childhood neighbours and had moved
back to their old neighbourhood after they retired.
Holding
hands they walked back to their old school. It was not locked,
so they entered, and found the old desk they shared. On their
way back home, a bag of money fell out of an armoured car,
practically landing at their feet. Sally quickly picked it
up, but not sure what to do with it, they took it home. There,
she counted the money--fifty-thousand dollars.
Andy
said, "We've got to give it back." Sally said, "Finders
keepers." She put the money back in the bag and hid it
in their attic. The next day, two FBI men were canvassing
the neighbourhood looking for the money, and knocked on the
door.
"Pardon
me, but did either of you find a bag that fell out of an armoured
car yesterday?" Sally said, "No." Andy said,
"She's lying. She hid it up in the attic." Sally
said, "Don't believe him, he's getting senile."
The agents turn to Andy and began to question him.
One
says: "Tell us the story from the beginning." Andy
said, "Well, when Sally and I were walking home from
school yesterday . . .”
The
first FBI guy turns to his partner and says, "We are
out of here." |
