Thought 4 the Week: People come to the rescue - 2. 2 - Die Leut...

On the eve of Memorial Day Week-End here in the United States , I got this from an Old Friend--the message about compassion and simply being human is ever so critical in a World that seems to forget it in Nigeria, in Mali, etc. etc.    Hope all enjoy--and make it a fabulous Week-End:

View of the Week: On Leadership & Commitment To transform

I received this in my daily review of "Verne's Insight" published weekly by Verne Harnish.   This particular poem by Pat Williams, the Co-founder of the Orlando Magic, particularly stuck me as not just a lesson in leadership, but a lesson in life:   


Seven things one must do
To be a leader right and true
Have vision that is strong and clear
Communicate so they can hear
Have people skills based in love
And character that's far above
The competence to solve and teach
And boldness that has fearless reach
A serving heart that stands close by
To help, assist and edify


The poem is so simple--yet the very essence of the message so profound especially for those of us who have the privilege and good fortune to serve as mentors and counselors.   


On the Road: Ohio boy pays it forward with found fortune





It is Memorial Day Eve in the United States whereby all will remember those who served..    This is one story I wanted to share that a Scouter Friend sent as I finish editing the Websites for my Troop and my District. I don't mind noting that it drove me to near tears.  



Happy Memorial Day.
