Sheriff John

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

Can YOU Remember?
I received a sweet e-mail today from a dear friend living in Switzerland. He commented about my constant “big grin,” and ended the e-mail saying, “Remember Sheriff John’s Song.” I e-mailed him back saying, “Trying to remember Sheriff John’s Song is haunting me; off to Google.”
Well, I went to good ol’ Google and found it. The memories then came flooding back.
To hear Sheriff John’s song, CLICK HERE:
1952 was a long time ago. My family could not afford a TV set, so I and several other neighborhood boys in Santa Monica gathered Dr. Zampetti’s home down the street to watch Sheriff John and Time for Beany with his sons Jimmy and Tony. I wonder if Sheriff John played a subconcious role in my constant departing comment to people today. I always say, “Keep Smiling.”
PS
Honolulu is a small town. My local dentist today is Herman (Tony) Zampetti. Check him out. Tell him that “Ronnie” sent you.

And Consistent…
I continue to be impressed every time that I go to the Yajima Cosmo gas station to get gas and a hand car wash. Not only do they race out to greet me, but they are always smiling and eager to service my needs. What is called “Full Service” today was once the way every “service” station operated; but no more.
Today it’s all “Self Service” or as I call it, “No Service” at most filling stations.

And It Pays
The few remaining service stations that still give service are always busier than the “no service” stations. One would think they would recognize the missed opportunities to give more service.
While at Yajima today I spotted the owner’s wheels, and thought, “Yeah, it pays to give.” Don’t even ask me how much more the gas might cost, because I have no idea. It’s the attitudes and performance of the employees that stand out in my mind. Click Here to see what other people have to say about Yajima.

Paris Hilton Shops on Maui

And Buys At Lahaina Scrimshaw
The room was abuzz when I arrived for my monthly Success Rally with Lahaina Scrimshaw this month. Paris Hilton had just been in their Front St. Store. She bought an exotic butterfly in acrylic and 6 Jimmy Hepp photos. She spent $975. Everywhere I went people were talking about her being there, but not everyone was selling. People buy when people sell.

Kina’ole

Something to Strive For
The late George Kanahele was known for the wisdom he shared with Hawaii businesses.
Part of that was his definition of the Hawaiian word; “Kina’ole.”
Kina’ole: one who has done the right thing, in the right way, at the right time, in the right place, to the right person, for the right reason, with the right feeling.”
A shorter meaning is “flawlessness.” Are you striving for Kina’ole?
