A company manager wished to craft a message that would let his employees know how valuable their individual best efforts were to the success of the business. He decided to do so by crafting the following memo:
“You Arx A Kxy Pxrson”
Xvxn though my typxwriter is an old modxl, it still works vxry wxll—xxcspt for onx kxy.
You would think that with all thx othxr kxys functioning propxrly, onx kxy not working would hardly bx noticxd; but just onx kxy out of whack sxxms to ruin thx wholx xffort.
You may say to yourself—Wxll, I’m only onx pxrson. No onx will noticx if I don’t do my bxst. But it does makx a diffxrxncx, bxcausx any xffxctivx organization nxxds activx participation by xvxry onx contributing xffort to thx bxst of his or hxr ability.
So, thx nxxt timx you think you arx not important, rxmxmbxr my old typxwritxr.
You arx a kxy pxrson!
