THE “ART” OF RECOGNIZING OTHERS FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTION OR A JOB WELL DONE.
We are so quick to criticize when mistakes are made, but so much less likely to praise someone for their efforts. We ALL do our jobs. Positive reinforcement impacts a person’s morale tremendously! Praise and positive reinforcement does not have to come ONLY when a "goal is met or exceeded” or after “Big Wins or successes" but also, when someone does lots of “unnoticeable good little things” EVERYDAY. We should use positive reinforcement in ALL aspects of our lives…With our family, children, spouse, as well as, with others we encounter in day to day life. Have great service at a restaurant, don't just leave a good tip, tell the server how you felt or better yet, tell the server in front of their manager. By recognizing others, they will feel good about themselves, and they will not only be willing to give more and work even harder, but after doing it, it will also make US the ones who made the recognition to someone else, feel GREAT about ourselves! It is a win win!

An exact replica of Michelangelo's "David," an 18-foot tall hand-carved marble statue weighing 20,000 pounds, located in Castle Warden, home of Ripley's Believe It or Not! odditorium in St. Augustine, Florida, and has been erected in a place of honor in the Castle's award-winning gardens. Anyone can stop by the west gardens to see David for free. It is one of only two in the world carved as the original was - from a solid piece of pure Carrara Marble quarried from Pietra Santa in Tuscany, Italy. It's the same quarry where Michelangelo acquired the marble for his masterpiece. It took the world famous Sollazzini and Sons Studio of Florence, Italy nearly three years (1960-1962) to carve the stunning statue for the 1964 New York World's Fair. Following the exhibition, it was acquired by California millionaire Ron Fong and was installed in the gardens at the Movieland Wax Museum in Buena Park, Calif. from 1965 until it moved to St. Augustine.

“And the palm trees were singing a song to my soul, one that I already knew...A distant lullaby from the womb of peace and love.”
