but it is the one who is quickest to see a thing through.
with what you've got,

GIANTS Big things. Things that buffet, bluster . . .and defy domination. Dark things. Ominous shadows that blight, blacken . . .and blot out the Son. ~ Two timeless truths of Giant warfare ~ 1) Prevailing over giants isn't accomplished by using their technique. 2) Conquering giants isn't accomplished without great skill and discipline. |
THORNS Little things. Things that prick, penetrate . . .and progressively poison. Unexpected things. Low-lying vines that trip, tangle . . .and eventually imprison. It is one thing to cross swords with those dark, hulking giants in life. But it's something else entirely to stumble into a briarpatch along the slopes. Sometimes a speck in the eye, A splinter in the finger or a rock in the shoe can be as bothersome as a giant on the hill. SOMETIMES MORE. |

YOU ARE A LEADER.

Do they respect it or just go along with it?
Your character as a leader may affect how they view
leadership and authority for the rest of their life.

| Two young children built a clubhouse in their yard. On the wall, in childish lettering is a list of club rules. No. 1 rule reads: Nobody act big, Nobody act small, Everybody act medium. |
Fear less, hope more; Eat less, chew more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Hate less, love more; And all good things will be yours. |
Those who make things happen,
Those who watch things happen,
and Those who have no idea what has happened.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
The leader works in the open, and the boss in covert.
The leader leads, and the boss drives.

* Someone Said * Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart. * To handle yourself, use your head; To handle others, use your heart. * Anger is only one letter short of danger. * If someone betrays you once, it's his fault; If he betrays you twice, it's your fault. * Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people. * God gives every bird it's food, But He does not throw it into it's nest. * He who loses money, loses much; He who loses a friend, loses more; He who loses faith, loses all. * Beautiful young people are acts of nature, But beautiful old people are works of art. * Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself. * The tongue weighs practically nothing, But so few people can hold it. |
but we make a life by what we give.

People who pull together will always outperform those who don't. Effective managers hold their team together by stressing common objectives and mutual assistance. They work hard to pull "loners" into the group. |
and many can be expressed in a single word: Freedom, Justice, Honor, Duty, Mercy, Hope. Winston Churchill |
