What Do People and Their Work Deserve? – Albert & Michael – Saba Island Properties

What Do People And They work Deserve - Albert & Michael Saba Island Properties

 

When I think about the people we work with I think of these wise words by the English poet Percy Bysshe Shelley:

‘There is no real wealth but the labor of man.’

The people on our team are the most valuable and important people we know. They’re professionals – reliable, flexible, compassionate, creative, friendly, generous, available with solutions and results whenever it is needed. They consistently come through and work hard offering help and top services:

– Cleaning your homes
– Washing your laundry
– Teaching
– Gardening
– Painting
– Driving taxis
– Picking up your garbage
– Cooking and baking
– Picking up food and supplies
– Fixing your internet and wiring
– Delivering water to your home
– Pumping gas and fixing your cars and trucks
– Sweeping the road daily
– Builders, artists, office workers, carpenters, government officials, plumbers, volunteers…

These people come and go from your homes and businesses daily. They each have a story. They have names and full lives. They’re real people and the real reason Saba is what it is because of the great pride they take in their work and the exceptional Saban hospitality they offer.
It’s Sabatude.

Their desire to help you is BIG and modest. Not showy or egotistical. They do their work, using their minds and hands and hearts.
Sometimes you don’t even see them.

Be aware of the people around you and show your appreciation — express your thanks. They’re your fellow man who work with you throughout your day as you visit and vacation at a hotel or rental property or stay with friends.

What do we owe every one of these people?

Certainly they deserve fair pay and tips for their daily work but also respect, without superiority – without exploitation or any sense that they are less than you or me. Less equal. Less smart. Less deserving.

Economist Thorstein Veblen passionately asserts:

‘Labor wants pride and joy in doing work, a sense of making or doing something beautiful or useful —
to be treated with dignity and respect as brother and sister.’

Why Saba?

After living and working in New York City for 40+ years I leaped right out of the rat race of corporate America; leaving behind the relentless stress and competition that was wasting me; to rediscover what really matters to me in life.

We went looking for a new home all over the world - the Azores, the Maldives, France, Italy, Spain, Morocco, Malta, the Caribbean and by pure luck, found Saba.

Saba gives me peace, joy, freedom and a community where I feel I belong. People are respected here; living free and open, in the heart of deep nature and incredible beauty. It's a remarkable change.

The work we do enables us to care about other people. Helping them find a new home with practical empathy for their needs and dreams. It's an emotional investment. To listen. To understand. It's work that matters to us. Work we're proud of.

Maybe you have similar yearnings for change. Wanting a better way to live.
A place where you feel at home, with yourself and with the world.

You might just be looking for a new spot to vacation. Unique. Unknown. Crowd-less. Safe. Friendly.... Hello Saba.

Or... you're already hooked on Saba and keep coming back year after year because you love it! Booking your favorite hotel and room or renting a Saba cottage or villa.

Or... Saba's lifestyle makes you dream of a bigger change. A more personal connection to this exclusive, wonder of an island. Something lasting. Just yours and investing in a home is fixed in your mind and heart.

Feel free to email me and let's find out exactly what you want and see - Is the Caribbean island of Saba right for you? Let's make those thoughts and wishes a reality and then... they won't be thoughts and wishes anymore.

I look forward to saying to you one day --'Welcome home!
Be it for a week or... a lifetime.
