Excellent post, I wish there were more people out there, who took their job that seriously no matter the job.

Reminds me of the man I worked for as a teenager, the local milkman. He delivered milk 6 nights a week (about 5 hours per night) and knew each of his customers.
In fact (sadly) on more than one occasion he was the first to find pensioners who had passed away as they had not ordered fresh milk.

He managed somehow, to remember not only how much milk people wnated but what their pets were, what sport they liked, etc etc etc.

Amazing, much like your Kalani, he absolutely did not earn as much money as he was worth.

Aloha Lance,
Thank you for your comment and for sharing your own experience and story. I appreciate that you took the time to do so.

Like you, I hope our examples will inspire more people to understand that their jobs are as important as they make them, and those that put a signature on their work like this are rewarded in different ways.

I am also hoping that bosses out there know which people are the Kalanis of their companies, and that they recognize them, compensate them well, and give them the opportunities to inspire and mentor others in the organization.

Welcome to the Ho'ohana Community, and I hope we'll hear more from you on Talking Story.

Unless you're hell-bent on self-sufficiency, you get to part of society. That means being dependent on others and having others be dependent on you (even if you don't look at it like that). Except perhaps for lawyers (), what role is not essential either for our proper day-to-day functioning, or for the vitality and possibilities of our future?
