I tell Ian all the time, a job worth doing, is worth doing well. No matter how insignificant or small the job seems to be, give it your all and do the very best you can.
A great example of this has been put in action every time we are in the car driving. With the warmer weather, high schools are doing car wash fundraisers at gas stations all over town. The kids lined up on the side of the road, holding signs and promoting the car wash drive home the message I am conveying to Ian.
We've seen the gamut; teenagers looking lifeless, barely holding their signs up and even sitting down on the curb, not caring if they make eye contact with the cars passing by. And then just a mile or two down the road, we'll see teenagers promoting another car wash, really getting into the spirit of it and doing a fantastic job; waving their signs high in the air, dancing back and forth, and cheering for drivers to pull in and get their car washed.
I ask Ian each time we see kids doing a car wash. What do you think of the job their doing? Would you take your car to their car wash? Do you think they'll get a lot of business this way?
It's been fun having these conversations with Ian. And by default, Sam is getting an earful too. It is just a matter of time before Sam tells these teenagers the kind of job they're doing. She knows how to work her window and is not afraid of to use it.
