One of the few trifling pleasures I experience in this life, sandwiched in between my bouts of dysphoria and sociopathy, is making fun of Rick Itzkowich. Even his name is funny.
Then he goes and compliments Dr. Ivan Misner (the Founder of BNI) on an article written by Dr. Misner which appeared in The National Networker Weekly Newsletter and closes with this line:
"I'm 100% convinced that the law of reciprocity is just as valid as the law of gravity. " -- Rick Itzkowich
My day is completely ruined. I cannot find any argument with the wisdom in Rick's words.
It's likely that I'm going to be up all night trying to come up with something more clever. Doesn't it irk you when the person you are busily making fun of teaches you a lesson? Knowledge is power, but its acquisition can sometimes be painful.
Faithfully (and in furious humility),
Douglas Castle
p.s. I'll get you back, Rick. Just wait.

p.p.s. In the meantime, I received a reminder in the mail from my dentist, the amazing Barry H, Steinberg, DDS, that I am about due for a cleaning. I don't know if it's just me, but when you go to your dentist for a cleaning does he wash your mouth out with soap? I think that my mother calls him in advance. I'm glad that my mother doesn't read my articles.
Here's Barry's reminder card:
