“A small beginning that must be nurtured, developed, engineer, tinkered with, championed, tested, implemented and checked ideas have no value until they are implemented.”

I didn’t know much about my Native American ancestry, but as I got older I became more interested in it.

Every improvement or innovation begins with an idea. But an idea is only a possibility.

Don’t be concerned with what you can’t do. Work on what you can do – then count your blessings.

Without the ability to get new ideas, an organization stagnates and declines and will eventually be eliminated by competitors who do have fresh ideas.

Ideas are the engines of progress. They improve people’s lives by creating better ways to do things. They build and grow successful organizations and keep them healthy and prosperous.

Americans in general have a lot of compassion, we just don’t always have the same view of how that compassion is implemented.
