Elevator Connection

Some of you may know I'm currently working with a client in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates.

Yesterday I got into the the elevator of the 5 star hotel I'm presenting in at the 15th floor. There were four others in the elevator when I got in and we all going down to the Ground floor. At the 3rd floor we stopped and three businessmen got in. As they did one of them asked "Going down?"

I guess it was because he noticed there were four others already in the elevator, that one of the three businessmen said "Well, as long as we don't get stuck !"

I immediately smiled and said - in what I hoped was a re-assuring tone - "The glass is half full."

One of his colleagues said "Well, we won't be bored!"

I smiled - and we made it safely (of course) to the Ground floor and all exited the elevator.

The man who said "We won't be bored" recognized that I -maybe - had a sense of humor.

But I was also making a 'connection' and a positive one.

What's the connection you are making with others ?

It's a bit like Tigger, really.

We are all on this planet together - so let's keep connecting, positively.
