EMPOWER OTHERS WITH R.O.A.M. T.E.A.M. 2008

In a very challenging world where individuals are attempting to find their identity, their goals, and their reason for living, there is room for many leaders to step up their efforts by encouraging and by motivating OTHERS to do the ordinary challenges in this life in a very extraordinary manner. Taking the next step up the Ladder of Achievement from "I think I might" to "I might" demands positive supporting efforts from those whose patience may be overly taxed by the successful-failures that day- to- day human experiences expects. To strive to the next level of "I think I can" to "I can" means a perseverance to the trivial and the demeaning aspects of human existence. Some individuals worry about the "splinter" in their hand while ignoring the "heavy crosses" that OTHERS are burdened with in their every day struggles.

Empowering OTHERS to advance to more positive levels of the Ladder of Achievement, fosters a self-confidence that is learned by experiencing the challenging and the almost impossible and the improbable. Observing the actions of those who are learning and who are attempting to understand what life really means to them is gratifying when individuals make advancements that appear to be "miraculous." Allowing OTHERS to stand up and to be accountable for their actions and their successes as well as "apparent or qualified failures" builds a positive character that will endure for many years to come. Eventually, individuals who may claim that "I did it" will give credit to many friends, relatives, and strangers who made possible the opportunities to excel beyond their wildest dreams. Success breeds success, and failures lead to successful outcomes if we learn by our personal encounters along the way and up the Ladder of Achievement.

Here are a few honorary achievers' statements who helped EMPOWER OTHERS with their personal touch and genuine concern for the COMMON GOOD OF OTHERS.

"There is no greater joy than giving to worthy causes." Ted Turner

"There never was a person who did anything worth doing that did not receive more than he gave." Henry Ward Beecher

"Doing a 'good turn' may seem a trivial thing for us grown-ups, but a good turn done as a child will grow into service for the community when she grows up."
Lady Baden-Powell Olave

"How can we expect our children to know and experience the joy of giving unless we teach that the greater pleasure in life lies in the art of giving rather than receiving." James Cash Penny

"Youth expects fun in the getting, age reflects on the fun of having given."
Milton Murray

"Whatever good there is in the world I inherit from the courage and work of those who went before me. I, in turn, have a responsibility to make things better for those who will inherit the world from me." Arthur Dobrin

"Don't talk of love, show me!" Miss Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady

"I think the most significant work we ever do, in our whole world, in our whole life, is done within the four walls of our own home. All mothers and fathers, whatever their stations in life, can make the most significant of contributions by imprinting the spirit of service on the souls of their children, so that the children grow up committed to making a difference." Stephen R. Covey

BY EMPOWERING OTHERS TO GROW , you will promote an effective, positive learning environment that will last a lifetime. BY EMPOWERING OTHERS TO LEARN, you are encouraging OTHERS to reach their maximum learning goals.
