  • Everybody wants to lead going downhill.
  • Anyone can lead when there is a trail.
  • Leaders know when to go off trail.
  • Leaders need to stay close enough to be seen, but far enough ahead not to hear what followers are saying about him (don’t take things personally).
  • Bring enough water (be prepared).
  • Be thankful for shade and a cool breezes (attitude of gratitude).
  • Always believe the end of the trail is just around the next bend, even when it isn’t (optimism).
  • Cat’s Claw (thorn bush) hurts everybody equally (don’t think you are worse off than others).
  • Younger, weaker folk may go slower and need more breaks, but they can make it to the top, encourage them.
  • Younger, weaker folk may go slower and need more breaks, so be patient with them.  When they make it to the top they will be your greatest supporters.
  • The view at the top is worth the pain of the trail (endure).
  • If you’re looking too far ahead, you may wander off the trail (stay focused).
  • When you can, have fun, throw rocks, be a kid.

    I can plod. I can persevere in any definite pursuit. To this I owe everything.
