The Kindness in a Label

“The difference between something good and something great is attention to detail.”
~ Charles R. Swindoll

At a recent work meeting, one of my newer colleagues walked in with a small gift for each of us – personalized labels for our laptop computers.  It occurred to him that since we all have identical laptops, it would be a good idea for them to be labeled and thus easily identifiable at meetings.  Given how often my name is misspelled – and I do realize that there is ample opportunity for mistakes given its length, I imagined that he might spell my name incorrectly.  I almost expected it.  To my great surprise, my colleague had taken the time to double-check the spelling of my name and the label was perfect!  I appreciate his thoughtfulness in making labels for us, but I appreciate his making sure to spell my name right even more.
