25. A Leader? I went on a search to become a leader. I searched high and low. I spoke with authority, people listened but alas, there was one who was wiser than I and they followed him. I sought to inspire confidence but the crowd responded, "Why should we trust you?" I postured and I assumed the look of leadership with countenance that glowed with confidence and pride. But many passed by me and never noticed my air of elegance. I ran ahead of the others, pointing the way to new heights. I demonstrated that I knew the route to greatness. And then I looked back and I was alone. And I sat me down and pondered long. And then I listened to the voices around me. And I heard what the group was trying to accomplish. I rolled up my sleeves and joined in the work. As we worked I asked, "Are we all together in what we want to do and how to get the job done?" And we thought together and we fought together and we struggled towards our goal. I found myself encouraging the fainthearted. I sought the ideas of those too shy to speak out. I taught those who had little skill. I praised those who worked hard. When our task was completed, one of the groups turned to me and said, "This would not have been done but for your leadership." At first I said, " I didn't lead, I just worked with the rest." And then I understood, leadership is not a goal. It's a way of reaching a goal. I lead best when I helped others to go where we've decided we want to go. I lead best when I help others to use themselves creatively. I lead best when I forget about myself as a leader and focus on my group, their needs, and their goals. To lead is to serve, to give, to achieve TOGETHER. *anonymous

177. Friends Through the Years... As we have grown and changed so have our ideas on friendship.... 1. In kindergarten your idea of a good friend was the person who let you have the red crayon when all that was left was the ugly black one. 2. In first grade your idea of a good friend was the person who went to the bathroom with you and held your hand as you walked through the scary halls. 3. In second grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you stand up to the class bully. 4. In third grade your idea of a good friend was the person who shared their lunch with you when you forgot yours on the bus. 5. In fourth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who was willing to switch square dancing partners in gym so you wouldn't have to be stuck do-si-do-ing with Nasty Nicky or Smelly Susan. 6. In fifth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who saved a seat on the back of the bus for you. 7. In sixth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who went up to Nick or Susan, your new crush, and asked them to dance with you, so that if they said no, you wouldn't have to be embarrassed. 8. In seventh grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who let you copy the social studies homework from the night before that you had forgotten about. 9. In eighth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you pack up your stuffed animals and old baseball cards so that your room would be a "high schooler's" room, but didn't laugh at you when you finished and broke down in tears. 10. In ninth grade your idea of a good friend was that person who went with you to that "cool" party thrown by a senior so you wouldn't wind up being the only freshman there. 11. In tenth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who changed their schedule so you would have someone to sit with at lunch. 12. In eleventh grade your idea of a good friend was the person who gives you rides in their new car, convinced your parents that you shouldn't be grounded, consoled you when you broke up with Nick or Susan, and found you a date to the prom. 13. In twelfth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you pick out a college, assured you that you would get into that college, helped you deal with your parents who were having a hard time adjusting to the idea of letting you go.... 14. At graduation your idea of a good friend was the person who was crying on the inside but managed the biggest smile one could give as they congratulated you and held you the tightest of all --- reminding you that they would never let you go too far. 15. The summer after twelfth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you clean up the bottles from that party, helped you sneak out of the house when you couldn't deal with your parents, assured you that now that you and Nick or you and Susan were back together, you could make it through anything, helped you pack up for college and just silently hugged you as you looked through blurry eyes at 18 years of memories you were leaving behind, and finally on those last days of childhood, went out of their way to come over and send you off with a hug, a lot of memories, reassurance that you would make it in college as well as you had these past 18 years, and most importantly sent you off to college knowing you were loved always and truly. 16. Now, your idea of a good friend is still the person who gives you the better of the two choices, hold your hand when you're scared, helps you fight off those who try to take advantage of you, thinks of you at times when you are not there, reminds you of what you have forgotten, helps you put the past behind you but understands when you need to hold on to it a little longer, stays with you so that you have confidence, goes out of their way to make time for you, helps you clear up your mistakes, helps you deal with pressure from others, smiles for you when they are sad, helps me become a better person, and most importantly loves you! *anonymous

Having fun, making a difference, And teaching us what we need to grow. *Brandi Saunders
181. I sincerely wish you will have the experience of thinking up a new idea, organizing it, and following it to completion, and having it magnificently successful. I also hope you go through the same process and have it "bomb out." I wish you could know how it feels to run with all your heart and lose terribly! I wish you could find something so worthwhile that you deem it worth investing your life within it. I wish you could achieve some great "good" for mankind, but have nobody know about it except you. I hope you become frustrated and challenged enough to begin to push back the barriers of your own personal limitations. i hope you make a stupid mistake and get caught red-handed and are big enough to say those magic words, "I was wrong." I hope you give so much of yourself that some days you wonder if it is worth all the effort. I wish for you a magnificent obsession that will give you a reason for living and a purpose and direction for life. I wish for you the worst kind of criticism for everything you do, because that makes you fight to achieve beyond what you normally would. I wish for you the experience of leadership!! * Dr. Earl Reum

215. In honor of Valentine's Day and Random Acts of Kindness Week, I am using this excerpt from the February 14, 1996, "Dear Abby" column. Enjoy! "Today, be a sweetheart. Call someone you love and say, 'I love you.' (Make 2 or 3 calls; who says you can't love more than one person, in different ways of course.) Go through your closets and give all those clothes you've been saving until you lose 10 pounds to your favorite charity. Call someone who's lonely and say, 'I'm thinking of you.' Visit a sick friend. Say a prayer. Donate some blood. Adopt a pet. Will your eyes, your kidneys, and all your usable organs to someone who can use them after you're gone. Forgive an enemy. Write a fan letter. Listen to a bore. Pay your doctor. Tell your parents you think they are wonderful. Spay your dog. Neuter your cat. Quit smoking. Drive carefully. If you're walking, watch where you are going. And don't wait until next year to be a sweetheart again." (Courtesy of Nicole M. McDermott)

228. It Can Be Done-- The man who misses all the fun, Is he who says, "It can't be done." In solemn pride he stands aloof, and greets each venture with reproof. Had he the power he'd efface, the history of the human race. We'd have no radio or motor cars, no street lit by electric stars; No telegraph nor telephone, we'd linger in the age of stone. The world would sleep if things were run, by men who say, "It can't be done." *Anonymous
229. The Ripple Effect--Do you want to be a positive influence? First, get your own life in order. Ground yourself in the single principle so that your behavior is wholesome and effective. If you do that, you will earn respect and be an influence to others. Your behavior influences others through a ripple effect. A ripple effect works because everyone influences everyone else. Powerful people are powerful influences. If your life works, you influence your family. If your family works, your family influences the community. If your community works, your community influences the nation. If your nation works, your nations influences the world. If you world works, the ripple effect spreads throughout the cosmos. Remember that your influence begins with you and ripples outward. So be sure that your influence is both potent and wholesome. How do I know this works? All growth spreads outward from a fertile and potent nucleus. You are a nucleus. *John Heider, The Tao of Leadership

231. Everything that is done in the world is done by hope. *Martin Luther King, Jr.
232. Lessons You Learned--For every petal you pluck from a daisy, You're granted one measure of love. For every rainbow you find with two ends, I wish you two stars from above. For every tear you brush from a cheek, I promise you kindness will follow. Wherever you walk, under rainbows or stars, Over daisies, or down lonely hollow. For every child you play with and talk to, I grant you one heart full of laughter. For every smile you place on a face, I promise you peace ever after. If you think "I" am giving you priceless gifts, Look close at yourself and your deeds. The gifts you earned were the lessons you learned while answering other folks' needs. *Marlene Gerba.

235. A woman is often measured by things she can not control. She is measured by inches and ages and numbers, all by the outside things that don't add up to who she is on the inside.

Because, as every woman knows, measurements are only statistics and statistics lie. *anonymous

276. Success--To laugh often and much. To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

281. Risks--To laugh is to risk appearing the fool; to weep is to risk appearing sentimental; to reach out for another is to risk involvement; to expose our true feelings is to risk exposing our true self; to place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk loss; to love is to risk not being loved in return; to live is to risk dying; to hope is to risk despair; to try at all is to risk failure. But, risk we must, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The man, the woman who risk nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. *anonymous

383. I'm the one who was asked to join your organization. I'm the one who paid my dues to join. I'm the one who stood up in front of all of you and promised to be faithful and loyal. I'm the one who came to all of your meetings, and no one paid any attention to me. I tried several times to be friendly to some of the members, but they all had their own friends that they talk to and sit next to. I sat down several times but no one paid any attention to me. I hoped very much that somebody would have asked me to take part in a fund-raising project or something, but no one saw my efforts when I volunteered. I missed a few meetings after joining because I was sick and couldn't be there. No one asked me at the next meeting where I had been. I guess it didn't matter very much to the others whether I was there or not. The next meeting I decided to stay home and watch TV. The following meeting I attended, no one asked me where I was when the last meeting was held. You might say I'm a good person, a good family member who holds a responsible job, loves my community and my country. You know who else I am? I'm the one who never came back. It amuses me when I think back on how the heads of the organization and the members were discussing why the organization was losing members. It amuses me now to think that they spent so much time looking for members when I was there all the time. All they needed to do was to make me feel needed, wanted and welcome! *anonymous

Never let me forget that my total effort is to cheer people, make them happy, and to forget, at least momentarily, all the unhappiness in their lives. And in my final moment, may I hear you whisper, "When you made my people smile, you made me smile." *anonymous

415. Ode To Boys--We like them, but do they like us? The ones we do never fuss. They never stop in and we wonder why--We stress we bitch and we sometimes cry. "Guys are assholes," we always say, yet their stupid games we play. One day this, the next day that. So we turn to food which makes us fat. Then they complain we're putting on weight, defining to us why we never date. They're the reason, the stupid fucks, making us believe college life really sucks. Screw them all, lets grab a beer. We've got our friends, they're all here. Cheers to the girls, fuck the guys, we're sick of their shit and stupid ass lies. We don't need them, no not us. Good for a scam, but never to trust. So here's what to do. Together we stand. We'll party it up with beers in each hand. Alone in our beds of course we might end, but we don't get dumped and we still have our friends. *anonymous, courtesy of Anne-Marie Jannace 416. Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard.

I walk into a room just as cool as you please, and to a man, the fellows stand or fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, a hive of honey bees.
