Pray hard 2. Work hard 3. Take risks I encourage everyone in this way. Some of the wildest dreams became reality because one refused to be discouraged and took a chance.

1. Pray hard
2. Work hard
3. Take risks
I encourage everyone in this way. Some of the wildest dreams became reality because one refused to be discouraged and took a chance.

A good example is my boss. He is very talented and knowledgeable. But he has a "can do" attitude that can sometimes get us in trouble. I'm an IT guy and he sometimes comes to me with let's do this and let's do it now. His request is valid and the implementation of whatever it is will probably be of benefit. But he many times fails to fully understand the ramifications of the process of getting from here to there; which is why he has me :). If I just went along and said "great idea, let's do it, that specific piece of the world would crumble down around us and cleaning up the mess would be horrible. So I am usually the governor on his spinning out of control. I point out the pitfalls and the i's that have to be dotted and the t's that have to be crossed before we can proceed. We still get there, but in a more orderly and usable fashion. It would be like you saying... Yes I see a need in Sierra Leone... let's do it and you just did. But when you arrive at the airport you have no immunizations, no passport and no ticket.
