"You made me stop and think about just how much things have changed but all for the good. Thanks Roger for opening my eyes to the good in this change we have made."
"This newsletter sure is an eye opener. It is so true that just smiling does not give you that true connection with another person. I remember working at a very stressful job..."
"I am so pleased you talked about Pay it Forward, not just the movie, but how it can help everyone. I think I had mentioned the movie to you and how profoundly I felt about it. Loved this news letter and I hope all the people that read it either already know about Pay it Forward or check out the movie. The idea works in so many ways for all of us."

"This one is great a definite 10. I think you will spark some good ideas in peoples minds with the meme concept."
"A lot of the content of your emails confirm points that I have been thinking about or believe in. This part about balance is extremely prevalent in my life at the moment, and I believe that if you don't give balance some thought and make a statement for yourself, you can find yourself being carried away doing something that may put your mental health at risk. It's a very important area."
"Great stuff Roger"

Review...
"What a wonderful story! I am very impressed with how you have used this story to make the points of how communication flows through the chain of command and loses it's true meaning or never reaches them at all. I must say though that I am not sure how many people would get the true morals of the story without your explanation at the end. That being said, if the morals are included at the end for everyone to read you have done an awesome job of writing a story that peaks interest in me the reader and the morals are well said. I get a vision of you speaking to the Corporate world, telling them this story and seeing how many in the chain of command understand the story before you speak of the morals. I congratulate you on this very well thought out story with the lessons to be learned by so many when it comes to stress."
