“This has been a dream and a lifetime goal,” says Gary Vien, author of the book, “happy to get this across the finish line and into print.”

Everyone is a leader, according to Vien. Leaders are not born; they are developed over time with experiences, successes, and failures – which are some of the most essential lessons in life.

Don’t Quit

Image

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

when the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,

when the funds are low and the debts are high

and you want to smile but you have to sigh,

when care is pressing you down a bit.

Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

as every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about,

when he might have won had he stuck it out;

Don’t give up though the pace seems slow–

You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,

it seems to a faint and faltering man,

often a struggler or has given up,

when he might have captured the victors cup,

and he learned too late when the night slipped down,

how close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out–

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

It might be nearer when it seems so far.

So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit–

It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Honesty is the best policy…

My Dad would say to me, “Honesty and integrity are so key to who you are.  Whatever you do, it will eventually be found out.” His teaching reminds me of this story. One day, four high school students decided to cut their morning classes. After lunch, they reported to their teacher that their car had a flat tire. The teacher simply smiled and said, “Well, you missed the test this morning, so take your seats and get out your notebooks.”

Still smiling, she waited for them to settle down. Then she said, “First question. Which tire was flat?”
