"When I was a young person, I wanted to change the world. I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn’t change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn’t change the town and as an older person, I tried to change my family. Now, as an old person, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world." - unknown

"[Poem about the contribution, effort and persistence required for success:]
Some fellows stay right in the rut,
While others head the throng.
All men may be born equal but,
They don't stay that way long.
There is many a man with a gallant air,
Goes galloping to the fray.
But the valuable man is the man who's there,
When the smoke has cleared away.
Some don't get nuthin' out of life,
But when their whines begin,
We often can remind them that,
They didn't put nuthin' in.

"[A true story - with a message about humility, teamwork and true leadership:]
Many years ago, a rider came across some soldiers who were trying to move a heavy log without success. The corporal was standing by as the men struggled. The rider asked the corporal why he wasn’t helping. The corporal replied, 'I am the corporal. I give the orders.' The rider dismounted, went up and stood by the soldiers and as they were lifting the log, he helped them. With his help, the log got moved. The rider quietly mounted his horse and went to the corporal and said, 'The next time your men need help, send for the Commander-in-Chief.' After he left, the corporal and his men found out that the rider was General George Washington!
The message is pretty clear. Success and humility go hand in hand." - Unknown

"[A story - with a message about win-win co-operation, helping each other and TEAM-work because then Together Everyone Achieves More:] - The Parable of the Long Knives, Forks and spoons. A man died and St. Peter asked him if he would like to go to heaven or hell. The man asked if he could see both before deciding. St. Peter took him to hell first and the man saw a big hall with a long table, lots of food on it and music playing. He also saw rows of people with pale, sad faces. They looked starved and there was no laughter. And he observed one more thing. Their hands were tied to four-foot knives, forks and spoons and they were trying to get the food from the center of the table to put into their mouths. But they couldn't. Then, he went to see heaven. There he saw a big hall with a long table, with lots of food on the table and music playing. He noticed rows of people on both sides of the table with their hands tied to four-foot knives, forks and spoons also. But he observed there was something different here. People were laughing and were well-fed and healthy-looking. He noticed that they were feeding one another across the table. The result was happiness, prosperity, enjoyment, and gratification because they were not thinking of themselves alone. The same is true of our lives." - Unknown

This is a story about four people: Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realised that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody have done." - Unknown

'It's not my secret,' said the secretary, 'it's his.' Each time she did something for him, no matter how insignificant, she explained, he never failed to acknowledge and appreciate it. Because of this, she took infinite pains with her work!" - Unknown

"[A story - with a message about appreciating those who contribute to your life and the team effort.] - Who Packed My Parachute - Charles Plumb, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, was a jet pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb ejected and parachuted into enemy hands. He was captured and spent 6 years in a Vietnamese prison. He survived the ordeal and now lectures on lessons learned from that experience.
One day, when Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant, a man at another table came up and said, ‘You're Plumb! You flew jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk. You were shot down!’
‘How in the world did you know that?’ asked Plumb.
‘I packed your parachute,’ the man replied.
Plumb gasped in surprise and gratitude.
The man pumped his hand and said, ‘I guess it worked!’ Plumb assured him, ‘It sure did. If your chute hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here today.’
Plumb couldn't sleep that night, thinking about that man. Plumb says, ‘I kept wondering what he might have looked like in a Navy uniform, a white hat, a bib in the back, and bell-bottom trousers. I wonder how many times I might have seen him and not even said, ‘Good morning, how are you?’ or anything because, you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a sailor.
Plumb thought of the many hours the sailor had spent on a long wooden table in the bowels of the ship, carefully weaving the shrouds and folding the silks of each chute, holding in his hands each time the fate of someone he didn't even know.
‘Now,’ Plumb asks his audience, ‘who's packing your parachute?’ Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day. Plumb also points out that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down over enemy territory --- he needed his physical parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute. He called on all these supports before reaching safety.
Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important. We may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason.
As you go through this week, this month, this year, recognize people who pack your parachute. I am sending you this as my way of thanking you for your part in packing my parachute!!!

"[A story - with a message about teamwork.] - The Rebellion Against the Stomach - Once a man had a dream in which his hands and feet and mouth and brain all began to rebel against his stomach.
‘You good-for-nothing sluggard!’ the hands said. ‘We work all day long, sawing and hammering and lifting and carrying. By evening we're covered with blisters and scratches, and our joints ache, and we're covered with dirt. And meanwhile you just sit there, hogging all the food.’
‘We agree!’ cried the feet. ‘Think how sore we get, walking back and forth all day long. And you just stuff yourself full, you greedy pig, so that you're that much heavier to carry about.’
‘That's right!’ whined the mouth. ‘Where do you think all that food you love comes form? I'm the one who has to chew it all up, and as soon as I'm finished you suck it all down for yourself. Do you call that fair?’
‘And what about me?’ called the brain. ‘Do you think it's easy being up here, having to think about where your next meal is going to come from? And yet I get nothing at all for my pains.’
And one by one the parts of the body joined the complaint against the stomach, which didn't say anything at all.
‘I have an idea,’ the brain finally announced. ‘Let's all rebel against the lazy belly, and stop working for it.’
‘Superb idea!’ all the other members and organs agreed. ‘We'll teach you how important we are, you pig. Then maybe you'll do a little work of your own.’
So they all stopped working. The hands refused to do lifting and carrying. The feet refused to walk. The mouth promised not to chew or swallow a single bite. And the brain swore it wouldn't come up with any more bright ideas. At first the stomach growled a bit, as it always did when it was hungry. But after a while it was quiet.
Then, to the dreaming man's surprise, he found he could not walk. He could not grasp anything in his hand. He could not even open his mouth. And he suddenly began to feel rather ill.
The dream seemed to go on for several days. As each day passed, the man felt worse and worse. ‘This rebellion had better not last much longer,’ he thought to himself, ‘or I'll starve.’
Meanwhile, the hands and feet and mouth and brain just lay there, getting weaker and weaker. At first they roused themselves just enough to taunt the stomach every once in a while, but before long they didn't even have the energy for that.
Finally the man heart a faint voice coming from the direction of his feet.
‘It could be that we were wrong,’ they were saying. ‘We suppose the stomach might have been working in his own way all along.’
‘I was just thinking the same thing,’ murmured the brain. ‘It's true that he's been getting all the food. But it seems he's been sending most of it right back to us.’
‘We might as well admit our error,’ the mouth said. ‘The stomach has just as much work to do as the hands and feet and brain and teeth.’
‘Then let's get back to work,’ they cried together. And at that the man woke up.
To his relief, he discovered his feet could walk again. His hands could grasp, his mouth could chew, and his brain could now think clearly. He began to feel much better.
‘Well, there's a lesson for me,’ he thought as he filled his stomach at breakfast. ‘Either we all work together, or nothing works at all.’

"[A true story - with a message about teamwork.] - The Sense of a Goose - When you see geese flying along in 'V' formation, you might consider what science has discovered as to why they fly that way. As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in 'V' formation, the whole flock adds at least 71 percent greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own.
People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going more quickly and easily because they are traveling on the thrust of one another.
When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it alone - and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front.
If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation with those people who are headed the same way we are.
When the head goose gets tired, it rotates back in the wing and another goose flies point.
It is sensible to take turns doing demanding jobs, whether with people or with geese flying south.
Geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.
What messages do we give when we honk from behind?
Finally - and this is important - when a goose gets sick or is wounded by gunshot, and falls out of formation, two other geese fall out with that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection. They stay with the fallen goose until it is able to fly or until it dies, and only then do they launch out on their own, or with another formation to catch up with their group.
If we have the sense of a goose, we will stand by each other like that." - Unknown

"[A true story - with a message about remembering that each individual of the team is important:] - 'Everyone Is Important!' -
During Mark's first month of business college, the management professor gave his students a pop quiz. He was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until he read the last one: ‘What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?’ Surely this was some kind of joke. He had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would he know her name? He handed in his paper, leaving the last question blank.
Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward the quiz grade. ‘Absolutely,’ said the professor. ‘In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They each deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say 'hello'‘. Mark never forgot that lesson. He also learned her name was Dorothy." - Unknown

"[A story - with a message about honesty and the dangers of half-truths:]
There was a sailor who worked on the same boat for three years. One night he got drunk. This was the first time it ever happened. The captain recorded it in the log, 'The sailor was drunk tonight.' The sailor read it, and he knew this comment would affect his career, so he went to the captain, apologized and asked the captain to add that it only happened once in three years which was the complete truth. The captain refused and said, 'What I have written in the log is the truth.' The next day it was the sailor's turn to fill in the log. He wrote, 'The captain was sober tonight.' The captain read the comment and asked the sailor to change or add to it explaining the complete truth because this implied that the captain was drunk every other night. The sailor told the captain that what he had written in the log was the truth.
Both statements were true but they conveyed misleading messages. True honesty requires 'the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth' so the communication is clear and easily understood by all." - Unknown

"[A true story - with a message about increasing credibility by being honest and balanced.] - Admitting Flaws -
In the mid-1980's researchers at Cleveland State University made a startling discovery.
They conducted an experiment by creating two fictitious job candidates David and John. The candidates had identical resumes and letters of reference. The only difference was that John's letter included the sentence 'Sometimes, John can be difficult to get along with'. They showed the resumes to a number of personnel directors. Which candidate did the personnel directors overwhelmingly prefer? Difficult to get along with, John.
The researchers concluded the criticism of John made praise of John more believable. Admitting John's wart actually helped sell John. Admitting real flaws gives you more credibility. A key to selling." - Unknown

"[A story - with a message about failures usually out-numbering successes and that this shouldn't discourage you if you understand that it is not unique to you, but just the way some things are in life.] - The Law of the Seed - Take a look at an apple tree. There might be five hundred apples on the tree, but each apple has just ten seeds. That's a lot of seeds!
We might ask, ‘Why would you need so many seeds to grow just a few more apple trees?’
Nature has something to teach us here. It's telling us: ‘Not all seeds grow. In life, most seeds never grow. So if you really want to make something happen, you had better try more than once.’
This might mean:
You'll attend twenty interviews to get one job. You'll interview forty people to find one good employee. You'll talk to fifty people to sell one house, one car, one vacuum cleaner, one insurance policy, or a business idea. And you might meet a hundred acquaintances just to find one special friend.
When we understand the ‘Law of the Seed’, we don't get so disappointed. We stop feeling like victims. We learn how to deal with things that happen to us.
Laws of nature are not things to take personally. We just need to understand them - and work with them.
IN A NUTSHELL: Because failure happens, successful people ensure they have more successes by planting more seeds or in other words, having more tries and trying for longer!" - Unknown

"[A story - with a message about getting results.] - Results - A minister dies and, resplendent in his clerical collar and colorful robes, waits in line at the Pearly Gates. Just ahead of him is a guy dressed in sunglasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket, and jeans.
Saint Peter addresses this guy, ‘Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to admit you to the Kingdom of Heaven?’
The guy replies, ‘I'm Joe Green, taxi-driver, of Noo Yawk City.’
Saint Peter consults his list, smiles and says to the taxi-driver, ‘Take this silken robe and golden staff, and enter into the Kingdom.’ So the taxi-driver enters Heaven with his robe and staff, and the minister is next in line.
Without being asked, he proclaims, ‘I am Michael O'Connor, head pastor of Saint Mary's for the last forty-three years.’ Saint Peter consults his list and says, ‘Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven.’
‘Just a minute,’ says the preacher, ‘that man was a taxi-driver, and you issued him a silken robe and golden staff. But I get wood and cotton. How can this be?’
‘Up here, we go by results,’ says Saint Peter. ‘While you preached, people slept -- while he drove, people prayed.’" - Unknown

"[A story - with a message about persisting past failure to success.] - Don't Be Afraid to Fail -
You've failed many times, although you may not remember. You fell down the first time you tried to walk. You almost drowned the first time you tried to swim, didn't you? Did you hit the ball the first time you swung a bat? Heavy hitters, the ones who hit the most home runs, also strike out a lot.
R.H. Macy failed seven times before his store in New York caught on.
English novelist John Creasey got 753 rejection slips before he published 564 books.
Babe Ruth struck out 1,330 times, but he also hit 714 home runs.
Don't worry about failure.
Worry about the chances you miss when you don't even try." - Unknown

"[Poem: about the 'thrill of the chase' and the enjoyment of challenge and striving.]
'The Ship That Sails'
I’d rather be the ship that sails
And rides the billows wild and free;
Than to be the ship that always fails
To leave its port and go to sea.
I’d rather feel the sting of strife,
Where gales are born and tempests roar;
Than to settle down to useless life
And rot in dry dock on the shore.
I’d rather fight some mighty wave
With honor in supreme command;
And fill at last a well-earned grave,
Than die in ease upon the sand.
I’d rather drive where sea storms blow,
And be the ship that always failed
To make the ports where it would go,
Than be the ship that never sailed.

"[A story - with a message about learning to engage people's emotions to motivate them to act:] 'Change The Perspective'
One day, there was a blind man sitting on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet and a sign that read: 'I am blind, please help'. A creative publicist was walking by him and stopped to observe he only had a few coins in his hat, he dropped a few more coins in his hat and without asking for his permission took the sign, turned it around, and wrote another announcement. He placed the sign by his feet and left. That afternoon the creative publicist returned by the blind man and noticed that his hat was full of bills and coins. The blind man recognized his footsteps and asked if it was him who had re-written his sign and he wanted to know what did he write on it? The publicist responded: 'Nothing that was not true, I just rewrote your sign differently'. He smiled and went on his way. The blind man never knew but his new sign read: 'TODAY IS SPRING AND I CANNOT SEE IT'." - Unknown

"Goal setting gives you an incredible opportunity to experience the true power of your imagination.
Think about it.
Human imagination builds cities. Imagination cures disease. Imagination sets up our best relationships. Imagination develops careers.
All of the great things in life start with imagination. It's the place where life and all the tangible and intangible values you feel begin.
Imagination is a resource unlike any other. It might be the most powerful resource you have.
Goals in our imagination are like a magnet - they pull you toward them.
And the stronger your goals in our imagination are, the more purpose they have, and the clearer you make them, the stronger they pull!" - Unknown
