Everyone
appreciates a warm greeting. Whether you are a weekday road warrior or
are taking your family on annual vacation, hospitality is always a
welcome travel companion. That’s the principle behind the restaurant and
hotel management. It has been and continuous to be their responsibility
to fill the earth with the light ad warmth of hospitability.
Hospitality
builds bridges between people and
even nations and in that
consideration, civility and respect should be given unconditionally. It
is the powerful universal language easily understood by people in every
corner of the globe.
Being hospitable
not only feels good – studies show it can be good for you too. For
example, older people who volunteer appear to lower their risk of heart
disease, diabetes and other cardiovascular diseases. Other benefits
include improved memory and reduced heartburn, headaches, colds and
insomnia. One study concluded that “helper’s high” reduced stress and
released endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, much as exercise
does (with less sweat).
And
perhaps the best part about being hospitable is that it doesn’t require
any special equipment, new clothes or even much time. As Mark Twain put
it, “The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else
up.” Why not give it a try?
Now Playing:
Welcome To My World
Happiness
grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in strangers'
gardens.
Happiness
is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness; it is generally
the by-product of other activities. |
