Thank you, Mike, for an honest and heart-felt article.

Belated Hanukkah to you and yours.

Mike, Well Done.  Thank You - Jim

Mike, your "Peace on Earth..." insights are significant in this season as we look at all of the challenges we the people have as we continue our work to deliver a more perfect world. Quality of education, quality of health care, community life, quality of governments, programs delivering peace & conflict resolution.... Quality is so important to all that we do, and even what we don’t do.

As one of the old retired guys still with interest in quality as process and result in all that we do I receive & read QUALITY DIGEST on a regular basis. But today your column brought emotion & not just "Hey, that’s interesting" responses.

My 2013 resolution is to do it! It will be some writing about quality in some of the areas related to peace, conflict resolution, community survivorship, extending friendships, & even issues focused on we the people working to make our communities ever greater.

Thank you for your gift as we took time to reflect. Smiles here as the Christmas music is coming through the speakers on my old radio.

Mike,

Thanks for the excellent article.

Perhaps this will resonate with some of your readers.

Measure not what makes man but what man makes of the opportunities he is given during his mortal existence.    

What makes Quality Digest work so well is a team of people with utmost integrity and dedication to their customers.  I for one look forward to many more years of Quality Digest Team excellence. 

My best to you, your family and the entire QD Staff.

Thank you, Mike: of course my most felt Season's Greetings go to you, to Taran, to Dirk and to all QD's staff, Contributors and Readers. And I also apologize to you all for my quite often really non "stylish" writings. A year-closing thought: why should be reflect on our deeds only at year end? It reminds of ISO 9001 Management Review, at least once a year: what about continual monitoring, that fathers and mothers Continual Improvement, instead? I enjoyed a lot contributing to QD, and debating, too; I look forward for the nex year to be a year of challenge and - trusting the Almighty - of success, too. With my warmest regards.   

Mike,

Your column moved me to finally register so that I could login and comment on your article.  Thank you for saying "Merry Christmas", especially since you're a Jew.  I've never understood why "Merry Christmas" is not politically correct, since we as a nation claim that we value diversity.  A belated Happy Hanukkah to you and yours. 

You've made by day!!!

Matt
