And then some...

What's the best gift to give?

Yourself.
Or more specifically, the very best you can be ... and then some.

The finest summary of this philosophy is by Carl Holmes who wrote:

And then some…

These three little words are the secret to success.

• They are the difference between average people and top people in most companies. The top people always do what is expected …and then some.
• They are thoughtful of others; they are considerate and kind … and then some.
• They meet their responsibilities fairly and squarely … and then some.
• They are good friends and helpful neighbors … and then some.
• They can be counted on in an emergency … and then some.

I am thankful for people like this, for they make the world a better place.

Their spirit of service is summed up in these three little words … and then some.
