On The Mark

I am a NY Yankees fan.  Right now you are thinking one of two things.  I hate this guy or ‘boy do I like him’!   For that reason, whenever I travel to a city, other than NYC, I wear a Cubbie baseball hat.  No one hates the Cubs…they just feel sympathy for them.

While wearing my Cubs hat at Purdue University last Thursday, I was reminded of just how important it is to be in tune with the people you are around.  In my walk to the student union, I ‘bumped’ into a student from Atlanta.  He was taken back that another Atlantan would wear a Chicago hat but appreciated that I would do that for others.  From there we spoke of life and spiritual things.

It is important to connect with people in a way that they can appreciate you.
