The Massive Benefit Of Treating All People With Respect W/ My Father Dan Miller

I grew up with parents who had me reading Dale Carnegie’s book, How To Win Friends & Influence People, when other kids were reading comic books. They modeled being respectful to all people, especially those in the least positions of power. I actually found them to be far more intolerant of those in power. Four years ago I sat down with my Dad, Dan Miller, famous for his career book which has become a classic, 48 Days To The Work & Life Love, to talk about it. At the time my parents were living in a gated community in Florida where they often frequented the neighborhood club for meals. As soon as they pulled up in the parking lot, you’d think they were royalty in how the staff treated them. Literally. It was almost embarrassing. But it wasn’t because my parents were well known. It wasn’t because they tipped well. It’s because they cared. They knew what was going on in the lives of the valets, the hostesses, the servers, the manager of the place. They did it because it’s what they believed was right and best. But from the care they received, people could get the idea they lived a charmed life. But what I witnessed was that they planted the seeds…for a charmed life. So here is a discussion I had with my now deceased Dad, in his previous office, about the reasons and benefits behind treating all people with respect.
