Sandy • Every day, David Stokoe walked into the board room of the real estate company where he worked, took his seat at exactly 9 a.m. — having a penchant for punctuality — and declared to his colleagues: “Today is great because I choose to make it great.”
When Stokoe started that ritual on his first day there three years ago, Michael Carter remembered laughing at how goofy it was. “That was so weird,” he whispered to a realtor next to him. “Who is this weird dude?”
But Stokoe kept saying it anyway. And Carter, who stood outside RANLife Home Loans on Monday evening, said the positive saying slowly grew on him.
