Today morning i went through this touching article....so thought of sharing it...
"People are like sticks of dynamite. The power is on the inside, but nothing happens until the
fuse gets lit." What a great quote, and every leader should take it to heart. Deep inside we all want people in our lives who will help to make us all we can be. You can be that person for the members of your team. Providing timely encouragement, recognition and support will help to light the fuse...and, in many instances, unleash their emotional energy. I recently read a wonderful story about a young man who played for the legendary Alabama football coach, Bear Bryant. Bear had a third stringer on this team named Henry Peterson. Henry had never gotten to play, and just before the Alabama-Auburn Game, Bryant got a call from Henry.
He said, "Coach, my Dad died and I won't be able to make it to the game on Saturday."
Bear said, "No problem, son, you should be with your family." However, the next day Bear
got another call from Henry, and he said, "Coach, I got to thinking about it and I don't want
to let the team down. I'm going to be there." Sure enough on Saturday, Henry was dressed
and ready to play. Just before the game he walked over the Bear and said, "Coach, I want you to start me today." Bear said, "Son, are you nuts? This is the Alabama-Auburn game, and you've never played." Well, Henry persisted, and Bryant, never knowing why, said, "Okay, I'll put you in on the first play." Henry Peterson scored three touchdowns in the first half...he almost beat Auburn by himself. Bear, at halftime, walked over and said, "Son, I don't know whether to kiss you or kill you. Why haven't you shown me you can play football like that?" Henry said, "Coach, did you ever see me walking around the campus with my Dad?" Bear said, "Yes, I have seen you." Henry then said, "Coach, my Dad was blind and today is the first day he
ever got to watch me play football."
AS A LEADER, YOU CAN NEVER UNDERESTIMATE
THE POWER OF EMOTIONAL ENERGY.
One timely shot of inspiration can quickly change negative thoughts into positive results for a
member of your team. You must always ask yourself, "Am I doing all I can to help them become
all they can be?"

Alone.......

“My shadow’s the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart’s the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find meTill then I walk alone!!!!”

Just wondering if I really want someone to be a part of my life… n what role is dat someone supposed to play… n hey, y do I need someone?? M I lonely, or do I not have sufficient ppl to share my life wid or is it just a fad???
Apparently ppl always feel dat I m n independent person wid practically no emotions n totally insensitive nature… Is dat d way I really m or is dat d message I wish to convey???

On a serious note, it suddenly feels like inspite of everyone I m missin on sumthng… or someone…. Well , I have a dear dear sis whom I would willingly share stuff wid, but who is too far to talk of everyday trifles… n der are a lotta frens…but still I want someome… God knws whom … But I believe I knw wat dat person shd be like….
Ø I want someone who is always by my side (not only physically)
Ø Someone who doesn’t need me to talk to comprehend wats goin on in my mind (if der is anything n if I have one)
Ø Someone who accepts me unconditionally
Ø Someone who doesn’t get tired of my stupid queries n innumerable desires (though de r only trifles like flowers, sweet nothings, cards, n remember my special days n significant stuff of my life)
Ø N d most of all, dat person shd make me want him n yet not have me depend on him…
