Lessons of Love from Ringo, Paul Help CEO Urge
Love for All
SALT LAKE CITY, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mar. 31, 2022 – Drawing on first-hand experiences
of love and respect from Ringo
Starr, a best-selling author, musician and CEO is calling on
others to show more love to everyone.
"April 2 is national 'Love Our
Children Day' and it's a perfect reminder to show love and respect
to everyone we encounter from adults to children," said
Kevin Guest, chairman and CEO of
USANA Health Sciences (NYSE: USNA), and author of All the Right
Reasons, 12 Timeless Principles for Living a Life in
Harmony.
A few years ago, Guest was backstage before a Ringo Starr concert with a group of fans waiting
to meet the world-famous Beatles' drummer.
"Other fans were nervous, and the lady next to me was
hyperventilating because she was about to meet an idol – one of the
Beatles," Guest said. "When Ringo arrived, I was first in line, and
he smiled, gave me a big hug, and talked to me while looking
directly at me. He focused on me and made me feel loved and
respected, like I was important. That is a feeling I will never
forget."
Years earlier, Guest saw Paul
McCartney on stage for a pre-concert soundcheck and noticed
that Paul went to every band and crew member, hugging them and
asking how they were.
"I could tell Paul knew them personally and cared about them,"
he said. "Those acts of love and kindness by two of the world's
most famous musicians give a remarkable lesson for us all. In this
day when so much is in turmoil, we need to show love and respect
for others around us."
In All the Right Reasons, Guest cites the Dorothy
Principle, which puts relationships at the top of the priority
list.
"People have told me the Dorothy Principle has made an instant
impact on their lives," said Guest, who leads USANA globally. "I
learned long ago that treating others with the utmost respect and
kindness is a key to success and makes life more harmonious for
everyone."
To illustrate the Dorothy Principle, Guest writes, "On a pop
quiz, a college professor asked: 'What is the name of the woman who
cleans this building?' and emphasized that nothing is more
important than relationships.
"The class was blank but soon learned the cleaning lady's name
was Dorothy, so I have dubbed that value the Dorothy Principle and
have tried to put relationships first in everything I
do."
At the billion-dollar USANA Health Sciences, now spread to 24
markets worldwide, Guest applies the same
principle.
"I urge all of our associates domestically and internationally
to treat others politely with kindness," he said. "Learn their
names, acknowledge them as you pass by, and step outside of your
own issues to be genuinely respectful to everyone."
Guest believes those simple patterns of behavior can make us all
more civil and lift each other to higher levels of harmony in
life. A famous musician agrees.
"I've never seen Kevin make a selfish decision," said country
music star Collin Raye, who
frequently invites Guest to play with his band on tour, including
multiple times at the Grand Ole Opry. "He thinks of his family, his
friends, and his associates at USANA and always tries to put others
first."
