A Note from the Author:
I have always admired Ritz Carlton hotels. Their service is impeccable. It wasn't until recently, however, that I found out why. Every employee carries a laminated card with the twenty "Ritz Carlton Basics" printed on it. Each day the manager urges the employees to emphasize one of them.
This book is like that card. It is filled with basic but profound thoughts which can change your life in the same way the Ritz Carlton Basics helps employee do a better job and provide superior customer service.
Each day you might want to select one quote, or more, from this book and focus on it, or them, to help you change and improve your life. You can carry the quote, or quotes, with you in your wallet or purse, post it on your refrigerator door, or keep it by your computer.
In addition to being an inspiration for yourself, the quotations in this book can also help motivate others. Use them in your newsletter, on your web site, or in your email.
However you choose to use these uplifting and inspiring quotes, I know that they will change your life if you take them to heart. Kipling once said that words are "the most powerful drug used by mankind." May the words in this book be the prescription you have been looking for to change your life.
