“The credit belongs to those people who are actually in the arena…who know the great enthusiasms, the great devotions to a worthy cause; who, at best, know the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, fail while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” — Theodore Roosevelt

My son asked me if I could be any Super Hero or choose a super attribute which would it be?  He assumed I would say Hulk because he is one of my favorite characters. Who doesn’t like to Smash!

 

Without hesitation, I said, “Influence” and my wife immediately said, “Oh, Dear God, NO”! Of course, my wife is correct. Influence without wisdom becomes a weapon of mass destruction.

 

My point, in this what if scenario my son was playing is influence is so incredibly important and so misused! Most of us are using our influence […]
