Tech Fair

Hello all,

“Tech Fair”

There are several reasons why we do the Tech Fair each year. First, from the full disclosure category… it is somewhat of a recruiting event. It gives us an opportunity to invite others into our culture, it puts them around our Realtors and lets us show off our stuff. Second, we have presentations by individuals or companies that we truly believe will help you grow your business. Third, the energy it creates. Getting 60-70 Realtors together in one spot this time of year, learning, networking… fills the energy tank and gets us fired up for the new year! I would love to see as many of you there as possible and I promise you will take some of that energy away with you. If you have not signed up on Facebook or through Wolf Connect please RSVP to Carol or Michelle in your office. The event is January 18^th from 9:30-2:30 at Montgomery Country Club, lunch is provided.

Germantown Sales Meeting 1/10, 9:30 Black Rock Center

Potomac Sales Meeting 1/17, 9:30 Founding Farmers

Enjoy the coffee,

Joe

THE MEANING OF POVERTY!

A colleague passed this delightful story along:
One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how much poverty exists in the world. They spent several days and nights on the farm of a very poor family.
Upon their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?" The son's answer? "It was great, Dad!" "Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked. "Oh yeah," said the son.
"So, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father. The son continued, "I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden, and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden, and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard, and they have the whole horizon."
His son added, "We have a small piece of land to live on, and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who work for us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, and they have friends to protect them."
With this the boy's father was speechless. Then his son finally said, "Thanks Dad, for showing me how poor we are."
Too many times we forget what we have and concentrate on what we don't have. What is one person's worthless object is another's prize possession. It is all based on one's perspective. It makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for the bounty we have, instead of worrying about wanting more. Take joy in all you have, especially your friends.
