A great quote for all to read.

it is so comforting to know that there are still people like you who thinks and feels like this.it is sad to know that people of today don't have the guts to face the world for what it is but i am still hopeful of our efforts just like john maxwell "leading' in educating and reminding us of the basic way of personal leadership where pride is not the foundation to success but pure common sense in leading other people to live a better life.being a leader to ourselves first before leading others.

He has a gift for sharing the spoken word and wisdom contained therein. Good quote.

Thanks for the wonderful quote. The following passage is extracted from "The Path of Sri Ramana - Part One". Hope it makes sense. -------------------- A dog went to the cremation ground. It picked up a sharp piece of bone from which the flesh had been completely burnt off and started munching it. The sharp edges of the bone pierced the dog's mouth in many places and there was bleeding. The dog dropped the bone, but seeing blood smeared all over it, it thought that the blood was coming from the bone because of its ravenous munching. It licked the blood and again started chewing the bone even more ravenously, with the result that there were more wounds in its mouth and more bleeding. The foolish dog went on repeating the process of dropping the bone, licking the blood and again chewing the bone. Little did that foolish dog realize that in fact the blood came from its own mouth and not from the bone! --------------------

The bottom line is: You cannot give what you do not have. I also love John Maxwell. I have read most of his books. I especially have in my heart these lines from him: We meet people either for a reason, a season, or for a lifetime. He's right. People just come and go in our life. But there is really one out there who sticks with us through thick and thin and will be part of our lives for a lifetime. Happy searching!!
