The Challenge



As responsibility is passed to your hands
It will not do, as you live the rest of your life
To assume that someone else will bear the major burdens
That someone else will demonstrate the key convictions
That someone else will run for office

That someone else will take care of the poor
That someone else will visit the sick, protect civil right
Enforce the law, preserve culture, transmit value
Maintain civilization and defend freedom

You must never forget that what you do not value
Will not be valued, that what you do not remember
Will not be remembered, that what you do not change
Will not be changed, that what you do not do
Will not be done

You can, if you will
Craft a society whose leaders, business and political
Are less obsessed with the need for money
It is not really a question of what to do but simply
The will to do it

Many people sit back and wait for someone
Else to set up and take responsibility
Sometimes that is because of weak character
Laziness, lack of resolve and so on
But more often it comes from poor judgment or lack of low self – esteem
