What is the cost of a smile?
It is said a smile is worth a thousand words. As a Administrative Assistant professional in today’s business, that is one of the top character qualities that will surpass you above everyone else. I keep a small mirror hanging in my office. When I answer the phone, I see myself in the mirror. Put on the smile and your virtual smile will come through your voice. It is your first impression that you make. When you enter into a room, smile before you walk in and see how others are drawn to you. Fold your arms and have no expression, you will miss many opportunities. Smiling shows you have a positive attitude, a genuine feeling that comes from within, and it touches lives. Management will know you as being a positive influence. I read recently the 90-10 rule. 90% of the things that are going to happen around you and that is going to influence you are beyond your control. 10% of what is going to happen is very much within your control and this 10% is what determines how 90% of your day will be.

This is a little fact I knew in the back of my mind, but I think most of us tend to forget it. When someone seconds a motion, it doesn't mean they AGREE with the motion nor does it mean they intend to vote for the motion. It simply means that they think the question should be put out there for discussion by the assembly.
I am a strong believer in this philosophy because I think it benefits everyone to discuss things and hear all sides to an issue. Most of the time, I generally go with what the majority wants, even if I don't happen to agree with their decision. Occasionally a subject is important enough to me to fight for change even if I am in the minority (that doesn't actually happen all that often though, surprisingly enough). However, the only way I will know what the majority wants, is if the question gets asked and discussed.

That's like saying to be on a Chapter, Division, or International Board, a person NEEDS to be a CPS AND a CAP. That doesn't make a person any less qualified. It would also narrow the field of individuals wishing to run for office.
