Hey, kids, it’s Dad. Today I want to talk about passion. I have a great friend who is just filled with passion. In this day and age there are many people squawk loudly about issues, but leave it at that, D Marie takes ownership of issues and tried to solve issues regarding the elderly and infirmed.
She has an amazing amount of passion for the cause and works every hour of every day to build support that it.
Be like D Marie and be passionate and make a difference in your community!
Hey kids, it’s dad and for today’s Tommylog, I want to talk about situation that happened at the mall a few days ago. You see there was this gal that had a sign that she was down on her luck and was looking for donations. Fast forward a few hours and someone found her facebook page – complete with pictures of stacks of money and showing how she had swindled the good people of the Fox Cities out of their hard earned money.
Why must the actions of one person ruin it for others? Taking advantage of the good in others – this will come back to bite her…I’m sure!
Just so sad!
Hey Kids, it’s dad. And for today’s TommyLog I want to talk to you about people who use the expression “can I pick your brain.” Few things get me as worked up. Someone who wants to “pick my brain” is just a taker. Stay away from people who are “takers.” You want to be around people who are givers — people who freely give their time to help others, and don’t expect anything in return. People like my friend Kelly or my friend Marc. They are givers. They have the entrepreneurial spirit and want to help see other succeed.
People want to pick your brain for looking out for number one. They’re looking out for themselves and don’t care anything about you. They just want to suck you dry and then stomp on you as they walk away. People who use the term “pick your brain” should burn. At some point have to put your foot down and say no. No you cannot “pick my brain!” My time is more valuable than that – kindly move along!!
It’s all about your attitude. If you have an attitude of learning and sharing that’s one thing but if you just want to be a taker that’s a whole separate thing
This week I had the opportunity to sit on a Boy Scouts of America Eagle Board of Review. As an Eagle myself, its great to be able to give back a little and help those who are continuing the tradition.
