It's another all-nighter at the airport. You're burned-out. You're jet-lagged. You're the epitome of the weary traveler. You need a few winks of shut-eye, but you're afraid to nod off and miss your connecting flight. A veteran business traveler found himself in just that position at the Atlanta airport in 1998. He wrote his flight information on a Post-it® Note, along with a plea to wake him in time for his flight. Then he went to sleep. Yes, he made his flight. Who knows? It might work for you, too!

When a Minnesota woman traveled to Siberia to adopt a baby girl, she found herself in the awkward position of having to bribe a Russian official to get his signature on the birth certificate. Caught off-guard and short of cash, she offered him some Post-it® Notes and pens instead.

Patients, staff and visitors at an Arizona hospital wanted to find a way to celebrate all the things for which they were grateful. They came up with the idea of a "quilt" of thanks. On Post-it® Notes, they each jotted down the things that made them thankful. Then, they arranged the notes on the wall to form a "quilt" of thanks, reminding each of them of the funny, poignant and simple things that life offers us all.

When a businessman from the United Arab Emirates had to make a last-minute business trip to the U. S. shortly before a scheduled vacation to Egypt, he discovered, to his horror, that he had only one blank page left in his passport. Since there was no time to apply for a new passport, he took a friend's advice and inserted a Post-it® Note onto his one remaining blank page. From the United Arab Emirates to the
U. S., six different immigration officers stamped the Post-it® Note, looking slightly puzzled. Upon returning home, he removed the Post-it® Note and still had a blank page for his trip to Egypt.
