WORTH READING 21 Jan 2008

Wow !

Last spring I was walking in a park. A short distance ahead of me was a mom
and her three-year-old daughter. The little girl was holding on to a string
that was attached to a helium balloon.

All of a sudden, a sharp gust of wind took the balloon from the little girl.
I braced myself for some screaming and crying.

But, no! As the little girl turned to watch her balloon go skyward, she
gleefully shouted out, Wow!

I didn't realize it at that moment, but that little girl taught me
something.

Later that day, I received a phone call from a person with news of an
unexpected problem. I felt like responding with Oh no, what should we do But
remembering that little girl, I found myself saying, Wow, that's
interesting! How can I help you

One thing's for sure - life's always going to keep us off balance with its
unexpected problems. That's a given. What's not preordained is our response.
We can choose to be frustrated or fascinated.

No matter what the situation, a fascinated Wow! will always beat a
frustrated Oh, no.

So the next time you experience one of life's unexpected gusts, remember
that little girl and make it a Wow! experience. The Wow! response always
works.
