Small Acts Go a Long Way
Posted on September 14, 2009
I came across a story about a retired school teacher, Tim Tepas, his son with Down Syndrome, Keith, and Albert Pujols, all-star baseball player for the St. Louis Cardinals. Read the story first at St Louis Today called: St. Louis Fan Fills Uplifted After Fall.
What struck me most about the article is Albert Pujols saying: “Please lie down sir. Don’t try to get up sir.” This small act embeds my opinion of Mr. Pujols. I see him as a class act and as a compassionate and caring person. This small act also gives me a higher opinion of the St. Louis Cardinals. It’s the accumulation of these acts that generate a reputation. A company full of Albert Pujols is a company that succeeds.
