I have worked all my life assisting others as a personal assistant, administrator, and a secretary. I guess you can say I'm a servant at heart. Some people look down on those who serve, they feel its beneath them. If it wasn't for those that assist or serve, the most important things would go undone.
A side note: I like the meaning of secretary.
Origin:
1350–1400; Middle English secretarie one trusted with private or secret matters; confidant < Medieval Latin sēcrētārius < Latin sēcrēt ( um ) secret (noun) + -ārius -ary

The last two Executives I worked for was challenging, demanding, and very stressful and yet they were the hardest to leave. What can I say...I love assisting and serving. Seriously, I have learned more working with them than I have with working with others.
From one I learned how to deal with different people from all walks of life and most importantly how to inspire children to be all that they can be. To take time to teach the youth what you know. What helped me most is the fact that he took time to teach me. He would say, come into my office let's talk. He would impart wisdom in me and give me lessons for life. He is missed!
From another I learned what it really means to walk by faith and remain in love and serve no matter what.
One of my husband's favorite quote is:
"The servant-leader is servant first...It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead." -Robert K. Greenleaf
Life is full of many lessons and I just want to share some that I have learned so far. Thank you for reading.
