Is Second Place the First Loser?
How many of you are active as volunteers? Do you give your time, talent and treasure to help organizations? How many of you provide free consulting advice or mentor others who need a hand up or handout?
Most of us wake up on Monday morning ready to do another week's battle in the trenches to make mankind a better place. It is important that we practice what we preach, and if we get paid to serve, we should also volunteer to serve. I also know it is easier to volunteer for something where you have interest or a passion. Have you checked your volunteer meter lately?
