Growing people towards success. Your growth determines who you are. Who you are determines who you attract. Who you attract determines the success of your organization. CHAD SCHAPIRO

If a man is right, his world will be right.
There is a great little story about a minister who, one Saturday morning was trying to prepare his sermon under difficult conditions. His wife was out shopping. It was a rainy day and his young son was restless and bored, with nothing to do. Finally, in desperation, the minister picked up an old magazine and thumbed through it until he came to a large brightly colored picture. It showed a map of the world.
He tore the page from the magazine, ripped it into little bits and threw the scraps all over the living room floor with the words:"Johnny, if you can put this all together, I'll give you a quarter."
The preacher thought this would take Johnny most of the morning. But within ten minutes there was a knock on the door. It was his son with the completed puzzle. The minister was amazed to see Johnny finished so soon, with the pieces of paper neatly arranged and the map of the world back in order.
"Son, how did you get that done so fast?" the preacher asked.
"Oh," said Johnny, "it was easy. On the other side there was a picture of a man. I just put a piece of paper on the botom, put the picture of the man together, put a piece of paper on top, and then turned it over. I figured if I got the man right, the world would be right."
When we are right we can change our world as well!
