Lucky people work hard, have high integrity, show up on time, fight against a sense of entitlement, hold doors open, forgive first, anticipate outcomes, give more than they take, have good manners, show high rate of learning, are self-aware, optimistic, kind and are generous.

@ATXChiefs @MercedesBenz Your phone center has no one there. This is a poor customer service experience and has been going on for weeks. Have someone reach out to me as there’s no way to get a hold of anyone to discuss a payment issue from using your app (another poor experience).

One of the best pieces of advice I’ve received:

If something has a minor issue, repair it. Minor issues become major issues over time.

Applies equally to love, friendships, health, and home.
