You cannot bring about prosperity
by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the
strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage
payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class
hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot
keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot
build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and
independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they
could and should do for themselves. Abraham Lincoln
Do you lead from strength, courage, integrity
and insight? If so, continue on.
If not so much, reread what was written well
over 100 years ago. It's no less relevant, no less true, no less
important now than it was then.
Behavior matters. Make your behavior
matter in a way that matters to you. And even, dare I say it:
change the world. Happy 4th.
