\u201cWe do not remember days, we remember moments<\/em>,\u201d writes\u00a0Cesare Pavese<\/a>. It is in these brief instances that our mind and heart capture something memorable and distinctive. The moment was different from all others. It glowed by its specialty and uniqueness. It may have been a moment of connectivity with others in celebration (a wedding or graduation), a moment of self-discovery (a choice of a career or career change, a decision to marry),a moment of personal achievement and pride in its accomplishment, or simply a moment of exception that was exciting, fun and memorable (our first roller coaster ride, a truly out-of-the ordinary and magical happening). These are moments that we remember and treasure and which create a mosaic of the joys of our life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In their beautiful and powerful book,\u00a0The Power of Moments<\/a>,\u00a0Chip Heath<\/a> and\u00a0Dan Heath<\/a> share with great leaders how they can create more magical and special moments.\u00a0They write:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cEvery culture has its prescribed set of big moment: birthdays and weddings and graduations, of course, but also holiday celebrations and funeral rites and political traditions. They seem \u201cnatural\u201d to us. But notice that every last one of them was invented, dreamed up by anonymous authors who wanted to give shape. That is what we mean by \u201cthinking in moments: to recognize where the prose of life needs punctuations.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThink in moments\u201d is their powerful message \u2013 to recognize thoughtfully that each moment gives us the opportunity to create a memory of a lifetime. All it takes is stopping and asking: how can I make this moment (be it a birthday, a meeting with someone, hiring a person, an experience for a customer, a surprise for a family member or loved one) so very special that they will remember it always? We have the power to create perfect moments that can last a lifetime. Think in moments! Make those punctuations!\u00a0 You will change the world!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have a beautiful day and a magnificent week!!!<\/p>\n
