Service is Joy
I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.” ― Tagore

Err on the Side of Action
I was again going through my notes and things and came across the note
Err on the Side of Action
I don't know why I wrote this down but when re-reading it just now I wish I could implant this into every teenager head. (and many a non-teenager!) It seems like a lot of folks go through the day with the philosophy of
Don't just do something, stand there!
UGH!
Err on the side of action
When you don't know what to do just do something!
Trust your instincts and GO!
You'll be ok
If it turns out to be a mistake...well...you can fix it with a little more action!

Teamwork
Teamwork divides the tasks and multiplies the success!
I'm not sure where I heard this but I was going through my notebook today and saw this written down. I probably heard this on a podcast or something and it made an impact on me enough to write it down.
I often say Teamwork Makes the Dream Work (which I stole from Randy Waters here at Kroger). Now I have a follow-up to this statement and can tell my team how teamwork makes the dream work...
By dividing the tasks and multiplying the success!
Simple...

Thank You Emily!
My sister Emily gave me this book for my birthday. I have just started reading it and have enjoyed it so far. It makes you think...which is always dangerous :-)

Ethiopia
We just returned from Ethiopia. I spent the last two and a half weeks there while the rest of my family spent the entire summer there.
I highly recommend that everyone from a so-called first world country visit a country like Ethiopia. It gives life perspective. What I always find amazing when visiting there is the happiness and friendliness of the people. A family of six live in a room smaller than my living room and yet they are always smiling and inviting - and they all get along!
We could all learn lessons from the people in Woreta. I hope I don't forget what I have learned.
