I can’t express to you the value of a resource such as Lewis LaLanne’s (aka Nerd #2) My Note Taking Nerd’s Blog.
A terrific example is his guide to Robert J. Ringer’s legendary book Million Dollar Habits.
I first read Winning Through Intimidation shortly after finishing school and joining the work force.
What an eye-opener! I was raised in the Puritan work ethic of “Be Nice, Don’t Question Authority, Just Do What You are told.”
I immediately glommed on to his follow-up, Looking Out For #1
He has written other books since, and they are all worthwhile reads.
But if you don’t have time to read all the books — or you want a synopsis to see if they are worth your time to seek out and read — that’s where our Nerd comes in handy.
Not only business people can learn from Ringer’s philosphies — they are good life lessons — especially in our age of political and religious pressures affecting every-day life.
Ringer has his own blog, also — highly recommended reading.

Here’s some trivia for you: The term “bus boy” is derived from “omnibus boy.” Yes, sexist though it seems, in days of old, a restaurant had a lot of things to be done, so they would hire a “boy” to clean off tables, gather the used dishes and cart them to the kitchen, sweep or mop the floor, empty ash trays, and whatever else needed done.
