Some people always take the time to care
KAMLOOPS — Some people care about people. They are just built to put you in a position where you feel good about talking to them, and they always seem to respond no matter how busy they are.
I am fortunate to know a number of those people. People who call out of the blue to see how you’re doing, suggest going out for a coffee, or just having a quick chat.
We can learn from people like that. We can improve ourselves by trying to do what they’re doing- reaching out as colleagues, friends, associates- it really doesn’t matter. Just taking the time to say we’re there and we care.
Arjun Singh is that kind of person. As Deputy Mayor, Arjun is pretty busy these days. He’s involved in the provincial municipal scene as well as council, and involved in a number of community activities too. Yet he always seems to find time to put others as a priority. When people respond to his posts on social media, he always is quick to answer. When he says he will follow up on something, he most often does. And he makes you feel good when he does that. Even those people who jump to criticize him or the City get a civil response.
