I am re-posting my comment to another excellent blogs I frequently read - for posterity measures!
==================================
JFK uttered these words - “Each time someone stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope”
True enough, many a great men, ancient and modern leaders alike, of human history share this trait-to inspire men and move against insurmountable odds! From Alexander the great, to Churchill, Clausewitz to Colin Powell, most are icons in their own right. Napoleon is one classic example. Despite his physical stature, he commanded the utmost respect and deadly loyalty of his army. It is not because of any other attributes, but simply, because of his ability to inspire men and win their hearts to overcome all odds.
Closer to home, historic leaders such as Jose Rizal, inspired the multitude of revolutionaries to spark the great Phil. revolt of 1898. Such action eventually gained the Phil. independence over Spain. On the business side, Jack Welch and Lee Iacocca, to name a few, are great examples of business giants who did extremely well in inspiring their men to innovate and push business goal to the limits. Bottomline, their can do attitudes and rock solid characters shaped their destiny and their success. Simply put, their Being preceeds their doing.
I will not end my comment without a passage or two from scripture. And I quote “Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” - Matthew 5:15.
Keep these blogs, and thoughts, coming Wilson. It’s inspiring to say the least!!
