Good Monday Morning!
1. Question – What is the main feature which
distinguishes a leader form a follower?
2. Thought – The brain of a human being may be
compared to an electric battery in that it will become
exhausted or run down, causing the owner to feel
despondent, discouraged and lacking in “pep.”
Who is so fortunate as never to have such a feeling? The
human brain, when in this depleted condition, must be
recharged, and the manner in which this is done is through
contact with a more vital mind or minds. The great leaders
understand the necessity of this “recharging”
process, and moreover, they understand how to accomplish
this result. THIS KNOWLEDGE IS THE MAIN FEATURE WHICH
DISTINGUISHES A LEADER FROM A FOLLOWER!
“Men who are successful always seek the company
of others who are successful. While men who are on the
ragged side of life always seek the company of those
who are in similar circumstances. ‘Misery loves
company.'”
(Laws of Success by Napoleon Hill)

Questions for you on education:
Very good questions. The answers may be difficult to
process.
So Who should determine the Curriculum to be used in
the classroom? The teacher? Principal? School Board?
Local govt? State govt? Federal govt? Should a
student be able to progress from K thru 12 and emerge
illiterate? Ignorant of American history? Math?
Economics? Science?
If schools are funded by tax payers, should the tax
payers have some metric demonstrating accountability
of the school’s product–ie the
student?
Teachers, are they: Professionals? Careerists?
Opportunists? Baby Sitters?
If K – 12 were “for profit”
businesses, how would schools change? How would your
local school look differently? How would their product
be different? What do you think ‘the
administrator’s’ metric would be?
If you have ever relocated your family with school
aged children, what did you look for in a school or
school district? If you ever sent your children to
private school, what was your consideration or driving
force to do so?
We work hard at getting education
‘right’. Why do we feel we continually
miss the mark….
