The best way to build a lasting legacy

A meaningful life is just a phone call.


Between email, text, relaxation, facebook and basically everything your phone you cry, you probably think that you are in constant contact with people, but in reality, you can also live as reclusivementJ. D. Salinger. Overloading of current information and the constant interruptions is what some researchers say that some researchers have a new economy the depression syndrome (NED), in which personal relationships deteriorate as technological intruders. "I think it affects more people over 40 years under 40," saysTim Sanders author ofLove is the killer application Because boomers and gen-x-ers grew up with telephone conversations and meetings face to face, and not Snapchatemoji, as the main way to communicate and show emotions.

The lack of human contact in today's world also means that we have less opportunity to influence, lead and change the lives of others, unless we take the time. Sanders points to a storyMike Rawlings, the former CEO of Pizza Hut. Every Friday, Rawlings took his lunch hour to call two of his most valuable customers. One day, he called a woman who had ordered more than 100 pizzas in one year. He told her, thanked her, and asked him an important question: what is your life? She told him she held three jobs - hotel, waitress and cleaner at home - to support his family.

In exchange for his work so often, she told her children that they could order a pizza for dinner as often as they wished. The woman said to Rawlings that people criticized her for being so absent, but she argued that her children were growing up with a good work ethic. "Does anyone ever told you you're a good mother?" Rawlings said. The woman said no and cried and thanked him for giving him a moment she would always remember and valued. For this woman, the phone call Rawlings has created more of a legacy that any business decision ever made.

"You will accomplish more in a day by taking a sincere interest in two people you spend two years trying to have two people interested in you," said Sanders.

Sometimes wordsRichard Leider, author ofThe power of the goal: to create a meaning in your life and your work, We are so packed in the work that we confuse what we do with who we are.
