Positive Thought for the Week of January 20, 2020

How do you get the tallest building in town?

There are positive and negative ways to do that. The positive way is to get to work and build a building taller than those that already exist. That takes work and planning, but it can be done.

A negative way is to tear down all the buildings that are taller than yours. The problem with that is that someone else is going to get busy and build one that is still taller than yours. Another way is to build a structure that looks like a building, but in reality is more like those on a Hollywood film set.  Many politicians fit into this category.

People are like buildings. Some work on themselves to be better, some attack others to make themselves look better, and some just brag about themselves to try to convince those around them that they are important.

Be a builder, not a wrecker.
