Post Wish for a Leader

Wish for a Leader

I sincerely wish you will have the experience of thinking up new ideas, planning it, organizing it, and following it to completion, and then have it be magnificently successful. I also hope you'll go through the same process and have something "bomb."


I wish you could know how it feels "to run" with all your heart and lose...horribly!


I wish you could find something so worthwhile that you deem it worthy of investing your life with it.


I hope you become frustrated and challenged enough to begin to push back the very 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's worth all the effort.


I wish for you a magnificent obsession that will give you reason for living and purpose and direction and 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.

Hey James, this is awesome and I know it's coming from your heart - you've been there and back and over the alternate route. KEEP IT UP!

James,

If this isn't the essence of the life experience, I don't know what is. Good Job!

Hrmm . . . I put the quote in for your viewing, perhaps inspiration, and maybe the sharing of your experiences that might be similar and worthwhile. However I am not sure of the authorship of the quote itself, its pretty popular in leadership circles and I don't want anyone to believe I am claiming authorship.

Thanks

Hope you like
