Lessons From a Third Grade Dropout

by Rick Rigsby

In the past 50 years, our world has produced technical giants and moral midgets.

If you are kind to others, expect the law of reciprocity to be active in your life.

Choosing to be kind will force your attitude to change. You are actually creating indispensable value for yourself. As you express kindness by choosing to share deeds of encouragement, gentleness, and politeness, the entire organization, church staff, or team will reap the rewards. When you find yourself in such an environment, you want to achieve more, you want to grow more. Thus, kindness is at the root of any individual success.

The power of kindness has the potential to turn a griping, complaining, bitter, self-absorbed employee into one who develops a different mindset, thus a different lifestyle and a different way of speaking.

When a leader is perceived as a helper, the entire culture benefits.

Good enough is not good enough if it can be better. And better is not good enough if it can be best.
