DON’T POOP
IN THE BATH WATER: BUSINESS LESSONS FROM A TWO-YEAR-OLD
By Paul R.
Lloyd
My little
buddy, Westley Paul Keever, turned two this past summer. Here are
some things he taught me about business:
1. Don’t poop
in the bath water.
2. When you’re full of crap, get someone to change you.
3. When you’re hungry, ask for the order.
4. If you spit in someone’s face, expect a big time out.
5. Share your stuff and others will share with you.
6. A hardy laugh makes everybody happy.
7. A temper tantrum doesn’t make anyone happy.
8. No hitting, especially if the other person is big.
9. A little padding softens the blows life delivers.
10. The best cure for when you feel sad is to give other people lots
of hugs.
11. Eat your vegetables if you want dessert.
12. When something stinks, check your own butt first.
Okay, so I was
getting the little guy ready for the bath. Filled the tub.
Temperature was right. Bath toys handy. Remembered the washy stuff
and the wash cloth. Just as he was about to clamor over the side and
into the tub, he stops, looks me in the eye, raises his pointer
finger and shouts, “Don’t poop!”
I think he was
reminding himself, but he sure looked like he was talking to me.
Anyway, the lesson is obvious. Put your crap where it belongs and
deliver clean, clear quality to your clients.
