From the day we are born, until the day we die, we are taught and held responsible for being responsible of ourselves. We must consider this unwritten, but ever so powerful code that applies to our daily lives and interactions at all times. We need to do what is right and take action even when no one is looking.

instead, chose to. He had never planned on this, and yet, there he was- working a job he had never really expected, and never really wanted. He did this for twelve years, and eventually came to the point in his job where he was teaching people how to do the job. They listened to him, and he found that he enjoyed helping them. Then, later, another unexpected twist: When talking to one of his friends who was currently in college, Mr. Kaufmann decided that maybe he could after all, and, bearing the…

Yet, I felt like not telling them was just as bad as what happened. I couldn’t decide what the right thing to do was. This guilt was making camp feel like a nightmare that I couldn’t wake up…

George Shultz has had a quite remarkable career moving from the academic world, to government, then to business, and back again to government. One might hypothesize that his success in these very different venues rested to some extent on his skills in learning the right lessons from his experiences. What actions did he take to continue learning throughout his long career? Shultz had an ability to seek out new experiences such that “spiraled learning” occurred, whereby lessons were gleaned…

I get goosebumps on my skin. Finally reaching the football field with two minutes to spare coach tells us to warm up. Getting in the usual formation, the teammates that were banging on the lockers finally show up and are a couple of minutes late.
