Servants Become a Motivational Speaker
Become a Motivational Speaker
– Dr. Albert Schweitzer wrote a great quote:“I don’t know what your destiny will be,
but one thing I do know…The ones amongst you
who are really happy are those who have sought
and found how to serve.” As Motivational speakers we’re determined to be grateful, here’s a fantastic
way to show it: Be a servant in your public speaking jobs. That may mean something as
simple as getting your spouse a cup of coffee or buying your
co-worker a Coke. Don’t ask “How much will this inconve-
nience me?” Instead, ask “How important is it to them?”
One of my friends was having marriage difficulties.
Separation seemed imminent. I asked,
“What do you want from your marriage?”
He replied, “I want to make it work.
What do you suggest I do?”
I offered this most important question:
“What is the one thing you could do tonight
that would absolutely shock her with glee?”
Without even a blink, he chimed,
“Oh, probably cleaning the toilets.”
“Well, there it is, my friend. There’s the solution.”
With a disgruntled look, he complained,
“What do you think I am – a servant?”
I mused, “Now you’re getting it.”
He did not clean that toilet.
“It just didn’t ring true for me,” he later told me.
By the way, they’re now divorced.
Perhaps there is no nobler position. Be a servant and you’ll become a motivational speaker in high demand..
