“There are many things one doesn’t understand, and therefore we ask them why don’t just go ahead and take the action; try to do something? You realize how little you know and you face your own failures and you simply can correct those failures and redo it again, and at the second trail you realize another mistake or another thing you didn’t like so you can redo it once again.”

President Cho – from The Toyota Way

Why people do not change:

The risk change is seen as greater than the risk of standing still

People are tied to their old ways

People have own role models four that you activity

People fear they lack the competence to change

People feel overload and overwhelmed

People want to make sure the new ideas are sound

People fair hidden agenda among the would-be reformers

People feel the proposed change threatens their notion of themselves

People believe the change will create a loss of status or quality of life

People believe the change is a bad idea

I took this photo on a beautiful day in Memphis Tennessee recently. My wife and I were on the way to a late lunch and I noticed two iconic structures that represent America's financial banking system.

The photo reminds me that someone hundreds of years ago started these two companies.

They took the time to initiate an idea and build a business into a major corporation. That idea now fuels jobs and careers for thousands of families.

Western Union was founded in 1851 as the New York and Mississippi Valley Printing Telegraph Company. The Western Union Company has become an industry leader in global money transfer with approximately 485,000 Agent locations in 200 countries and territories.

Seth Godin recently said in his book LINCHIN "Any project worth doing involves innovation, inspiration and at least a little bit of making stuff up."

Let's all take our ideas that we have and make some time to act on them so that we can help others and make the world a better place.

How to "Getting Things Done®"

· Capture anything and everything that has your attention and concern

· Define actionable things into concrete next steps and successful outcomes

· Organize information in the most streamlined way, in appropriate categories, based on how and when you need to access it

· Keep current and “ahead of the game” with appropriately frequent reviews

· Keep track of the bigger picture while managing the small details

· Make trusted choices about what to do in any given moment

Whatever you do, do everything for the glory of GOD. 1^st Corinthians 10:31

Martin Luther King Jr.

"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
Martin Luther King Jr.

Michael King, Jr. was born on January 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia. You read that correctly ― Martin Luther King, Jr. was originally named after his father, Michael King, Sr. It wasn’t until 1935 that the Reverend Martin Luther King , Sr., inspired by the 16th century Augustinian monk and theologian, Martin Luther, proclaimed to his congregation that from that point forward they were to refer to him as ‘Martin Luther King’ and to his son as ‘Martin Luther King, Jr.’ Although MLK, Jr. never legally changed his name, it is this revised appellation that is carved into historical memory.

Let’s continue to look at the particulars of the Civil Rights leader’s name and see what we find.

Colored People Song

"A piece of canvas is only the beginning It takes on character with every loving stroke

This thing of beauty is the passion of an artist's heart By God's design, we are a skin kaleidoscope"

Performed by dctalk - from the album Jesus Freak (Purchase from Amazon.com)

All of God's people go together red, yellow, black and white we all go together.

The Satisfaction of Saying Thank You

The Satisfaction of Saying Thank You

Everyone wins when we say thank you. I had the experience of saying thank you long after the appropriate time to say thank you.

I attended an event and I was unable to say thank you to the host. At the event the host was not accessible with the amount of time that I was at the event and I had to rush off to my next appointment before I could give a sincere thank you.

So at the end of the event I rushed off and attempted to the next event which was dinner with my wife. We went to Tootsies in Panama City Beach Florida. That was a lot of fun because the food was great and the atmosphere was exciting. There was a wedding party reception going on and a great band playing. So the environment was very festive.

Recently I realized that I had not taken the time to say thank you to the host of the event that I had attended a few months ago.

So with the help of Google I was able to backtrack and find their e-mail information and send over a short e-mail giving an appropriate belated thank you to the host.

In just a few minutes I received a thank you from the host. I was reminded that everyone wins when you say thank you.

Reasons to saying thank you…

· Shows that you care

· Gives you a good reputation

· Is polite

· Helps you feel thankful

· Helps others feel appreciated

· Is not hard

· Is not expensive

· Shows that you are not afraid to show your appreciation

· Opens a conversation up

· Establishes a relationship

· Can turn a bad mood into a good mood

· Never loses value

The other day, my son asked me about the Berlin wall I struggled to come up with a short explanation of what the Berlin wall was about and put the pieces together as we watched a documentary that U2 has recently released on their new project Achtung Baby documentary.

I WASN'T STRUGGLING TO ANSWER the inquiry. It was that I really had not studied the history of the Berlin wall and could not come up with any logical explanation of relevance that would explain the Berlin wall and its impact on history.

Over the last few days I have taken time to read about the Berlin wall and watch and you detailed documentaries that displaying the horrific facts and realities of how the Berlin wall came into existence.

My take away from my brief review of super one wall is we have a very precious thing that we hold, and it is called freedom. Freedom comes with the responsibility and we need to all take part in dissipating and protecting and providing freedom for herself and others.

Let's never allow the opportunity to arise for a government to enclose its people and create a social experiment that enslaves people for the sole purpose of some government.

We are designed to have free will and create opportunities to help each other. In a free enterprise capitalistic we are put in the situation that we can be our best so that we can help others.

"Sometimes people forget today how many could not leave (the country) for years, how many sat in prisons ... before the joy of freedom came, many people suffered." German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

"All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope."
Winston Churchill
