Your neighbor and website maintainer,
D.J. Rasmussen
I wanna again welcome you to the four zero five coffee break. Get you a cup of coffee, glass iced, tea, or bottled water. Guys, let's see what's happening. Spring weight, $5.64 a bushel. $5-6-4
OK Solberg:5 hundred and 50 pound steer calf, I hope to shout $3.94. If they're a little lighter, you're gonna get over $4 a pound. Butcher hog in Omaha, Fifty Seven Cents, and a hundred pound fat lamb in Billings at $2.14 a pound. But guys, there's more, much more. Bible verse right up front, and then I'm gonna be sharing excerpts from one of my favorite books.
OK Solberg:Oh, yes, it is. One of my favorite books titled How to Win Friends and Influence People. Guys, you gotta realize it was first published 1936. My own dear dad was only six years old when this book came out, but it's still applicable today as it was back then. But you're gonna hear a few dollars amounts mentioned.
OK Solberg:Well, go back to 1936 to make it, make sense. It's a great book. And all of us need to deal with people every day. Right? Every day.
OK Solberg:Why not do it with some gusto? Second Corinthians one verse three and four. Blessed be the god and father of our lord Jesus Christ, the father of mercy and god of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. Oh, yes, guys, all of us need comfort sometimes, but it's interesting that we can give comfort also. Listen, from How to Win Friends and Influence People.
OK Solberg:And I quote, right straight from the book, page 16, for many years I conducted courses each season in the Engineering Club of Philadelphia, and also courses for the New York chapter of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. A total of probably more than 1,500 engineers have passed through my classes. They came to me because they finally realized after years of observation and experience that the highest paid men in the engineering field are frequently not the men who know the most about engineering. One can, for example, hire mere technical ability in engineering, account ability in architecture or any other profession at $25 to $50 a week, the market is always glutted with it. But the man who has technical knowledge, plus the ability to express his ideas, to assume leadership, and to arouse enthusiasm among people, that man is headed for higher earning power.
OK Solberg:In the heyday of his activity, John D Rockefeller told Matthew C. Bush that the ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity as sugar or coffee. And I will pay more for that ability, said John Dee, than for any other under the sun. End of quote, guys. Great book.
OK Solberg:Great book. All of us have to deal with people. Why not find out a few helpful hints? Tune in again tomorrow. I'll share some more from the great book that I call one of my favorite, How to Win Friends and Influence People.
OK Solberg:One that I won't get into today, but one of the weeks, one of the days in the coming week is call people by name. You got that? Okay, Orvin. See you. So until next time.
OK Solberg:As you go out there, remember now. Don't be bitter.
