I few days ago I heard the song “The Happiest Girl in the Whole U.S.A.” by Donna Fargo. Unlike most country music songs it paints a very happy picture of life in general and marriage in particular. The subject of the song (I will call her Mrs. Fargo) is so happy she enjoys making her husband’s lunch while at the same time he is making hers.
It seems like every day in their lives is a “skippity do da day!” Clearly they “love waking up next to each other.” “She makes the coffee, he makes the bed.”
As Phil Robertson would say, they seem truly “happy, happy, happy.”
But Mr. and Mrs. Fargo don’t get this way by accident. The song clearly paints a picture of a couple that puts the other persons wants and desires (happiness) ahead of their own wants and desires.
At Willmar Electric we would call it Meeting the Customer Needs and Treating Others the Way We want to be Treated. The Fargos are getting their happiness in part from making others happy.
Skippity do da indeed.
