IDES OF OCTOBER 2012 CONGRATULATES THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO LIVE AND SHOW RESPECT FOR THEIR NEIGHBOR

Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts congratulate the multitude of men and women who quietly and humbly show respect for themselves and for their neighbors by doing the ordinary acts of kindness in an extraordinary manner.  These wonderful and heroic persons will seldom receive recognition by their friendly and positive acts of love expressed in many geographic areas.  Examples include the following:  children who care for their elderly parents, parents who care for your challenged children, law enforcement personnel who create a positive environment to reduce crime, health professionals who simply respect their patients and go above and beyond their duty, educators who make the time to bring about a learning environment for their students, entrepreneurs who create jobs and careers for millions of underemployed and unemployed persons, missionaries who provide the "leaven" in their environments by providing for the homeless and war- displaced refugees, and many more examples that you are willing and able to share.  These special individuals show that "people do not care what you know but how much you care."

Congratulations to all Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts who live "Respect" and "Give Respect" to the most vulnerable and to the most powerful persons in their daily love journey.  By their actions and by their efforts, people know and honor the respect that must be given to each and every person who lives on "Planet Earth." "What you do to the LEAST of My Brothers and Sisters, you do to ME."  Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts encourage all persons of GOOD WILL to reconsider their lifestyles and EARN RESPECT by giving RESPECT to your daily contacts. Respecting human life at every stage of development is worth the time, the talents, and the treasures of each valuable and unique human being "who cares enough to give the very best."
Your respectful SMILE will be the difference in another's reactions to receiving loving respect.

Columbus's Memorial in Washington

ACHIEVEMENT LADDER ENTHUSIASTS CELEBRATE COLUMBUS DAY WEEK WITH HONOR, FRATERNITY, AND LOVE OF COUNTRY

What would you say is your Key to your Future?  What type of Key are you?  You may be the Key that will move unlockable doors of someone's mind and heart.  You may be the Key that will gain access to someone's thoughts and behavior.  You may be the Key that will clear up a human problem that was once considered unsolvable.  You may be the Key that explains or gives useful information about persons, places, or things.  Your Key may be the only Key that will unlock a very difficult situation with people that you respect and love.  You may be the right Key to keep harmony rather than see discord or divisiveness continue in your community and your neighborhood relationships.  You may be the one Key person who will complete or adjust the picture in a Group Reunion.  You may be the Key to influence others through your great intensity of your feelings and convictions with the inner drive to make solutions for challenges.

As those Leaders who came before us, they were the Keys to what we may be experiencing today.  Taking for granted the heroic actions of historical icons, you may be apathetic rather than grateful for the cause and effect that these past leaders have accomplished by their positive attitudes.  You are the current and future Key leaders who with your unique personality and attitude will influence the thinking and the actions of others.  Since you are a unique person, only one of a kind, the sum total of all of your God-given talents needs to be used in your Key locations for the well being of others entrusted to your care.  Your Key presence in your sphere of influence will often affect more persons than you will ever realize.  The Key to your future is YOU.  You are the Key everyone is waiting for and anticipating to bring about a transformation.

"Yesterday is already a dream and tomorrow is only a vision but today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a VISION OF HOPE."
