At the bottom of one of the boxes of decorations, I found some holiday poems he had authored about our family.<br \/>\nInspired and seeking to honor this tradition, I picked a familiar holiday cadence and decided to write a holiday poem about my new work family.<br \/>\nSeeing the results, I was encouraged and felt compelled to share some thoughts with you, our extended Reman U family.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reminders of the importance of tradition are all around during the holidays. Never take for granted the way things have been done.<\/li>\n<li>A valuable connection is not in just knowing someone, but in what you do for the people you know.<\/li>\n<li>As a business becomes more involved in the area where it is located, how successful it will be down the road changes.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t confuse yourself into thinking the world \u201cowes you a favor\u201d just because you have done something for them. Rather, think of it more along the lines of the favorable impression you can leave.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This holiday season, I\u2019m challenging myself to be more involved with the people around me and take on a new activity or two. I\u2019ll be keeping in mind how especially important it is to not let my current obligations, the ones I have made my involvement in a tradition, fall to the wayside.
