So my son loves to go to baseball card shows and when I think of my younger days when my father wouldn\u2019t take me, let\u2019s just say I\u2019m a softie. When there was a show at the Westchester County Center a few years back where Keith Hernandez and Stephane Matteau, were signing, we went.<\/p>\n
There wasn\u2019t much of a line where Stephane Matteau was and I wanted him to sign my replica mini-Stanley Cup which several players from the 1994 New York Rangers already signed. Matteau is remembered for scoring the overtime goal in the conference finals against the New Jersey Devils and he\u2019s made nice career years later, autographing pictures of the moment he got the puck by Martin Brodeur.<\/p>\n
Jason has no idea who Matteau is and I told him that if it wasn\u2019t for his goal, the Rangers might not have made the Finals against the Canucks. Rather than lauding his own accomplishments, Matteau told us that if he didn\u2019t score, someone else on the Rangers would have. I was just staggered by his humbleness, selflessness, and belief in his teammates. That\u2019s not a hockey lesson, that\u2019s a life lesson.<\/p>\n
As retirement plan providers, we do a lot for our clients. I\u2019ve bailed out countless clients with their retirement plan issues. It\u2019s not time to brag about what I\u2019ve done because that\u2019s what I\u2019m paid for. Avoiding big penalties from the Internal Revenue Service and getting a plan in order, that\u2019s why people pay me. I try to be humble and downplay what I\u2019ve done for clients because this is what I do for a living. Sometimes people take advantage of your humbleness, to push their agenda. That might be the case, but most people respect providers who are just doing their job more than the provider who is tooting their own on stuff they did, they were supposed to do.<\/p>\n
