One California man is showing how small words can make a huge impact in people's daily lives. Every school morning for years, Dick Kazan has been standing on the street in Palos Verdes Estates offering something nice to say. He wishes for everyone â particularly children on their way to school â to have a good day.'Everybody, no exceptions, wants to feel important. I want them to feel important,' the 79-year-old said. 'I want them to feel beautiful.
I was an honest man, but a really driven man, and people didn't enjoy me, to be perfectly frank,' he said.Kazan worked in computer and high technology leasing, saying the company had 'about $2 billion.' On his 46th birthday, he made a personal pivot. His home office now is the world headquarters of the 'Kazan Today,' which is his online newsletter that includes 'recipes for success' and little droplets of inspiration.The transition, Kazan said, took time.
