Motivational Minute (12_78)



Quote of the day:

“A good leader is one who knows the way, shows the way, and goes the way.” — John C. Maxwell

Consider:

How true. It is so much easier to follow someone’s example than to try to muddle through on our own.

It was Henry Wadsworth Longfellow who wrote the well-known verse:

            Lives of great men all remind us
            We can make our lives sublime,
            And, departing, leave behind us
            Footprints on the sands of time.

But do you remember the following lines which make the previous verse even more meaningful?

            Footprints, that perhaps another,
            Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
            A forlorn and ship-wrecked brother,
            Seeing, shall take heart again.

These words remind us that if we can see that someone else has gone the way before us, we are encouraged to do the same.

There is a two-fold lesson here. Be the example that others can follow, and if others can reach their goals so can you.

Wishing you all the best,

Coach Dana
