Alex Trebek, host of “Jeopardy!” passed away recently. Alex was a very special person in that everyone who encountered him, whether in person or on television, loved him including the people he worked for, worked with, as well as the show’s contestants. On top of that, his fans adored him. You never saw anything written or heard anything said about him that was even remotely negative. After he announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, he received hundreds of thousands of cards, letters, emails, texts, and tweets all wishing him well. What was the secret to his success? He was a genuinely kind person—he truly cared about people and it showed. How do you want to be remembered?
