I Am the Decisive Element

"I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration, I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanized or de-humanized. If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming." - Goethe

We are here to act, not to be acted upon!

The Last Lecture

What if you knew you only had a few months to live? What advice would you leave as a legacy? Terminally ill University professor Dr. Randy Pausch created a WOW on Oprah when he regave his "Last Lecture." We could all learn from the wisdom he shared:

"Four short words sum up what has lifted most successful individuals above the crowd: a little bit more. They did all that was expected of them and a little bit more." - A. Lou Vickery, Writer
