Quixtar Leader Series - Seeing The Good
This is the second installment of the Quixtar Leader Series.
» Orrin Woodard of Team - Seeing the Good - (originally posted May 12, 2005 at Orrin Woodward Team Resources)
Saw in interesting quote yesterday: "NO ONE IS SO GOOD THAT HE HAS NO BAD IN HIM, AND NO ONE IS SO BAD THAT HE HAS NO GOOD IN HIM."
We human beings are a complex lot. Most religious writings and great literary works are based upon the constant struggle between good and evil that goes on inside every one of us - a struggle that is as old as mankind itself. Yet, while we recognize our own inner struggles, most of us are often quick to condemn others. Not so Orrin Woodward. Years ago, Orrin decided to focus on the good he found in others and point that out ot them.
Rather than being so quick to criticze, why not make it a point to look for the good in others? Nurture the good character traits. Like plants in a garden, the character traits that grow strong and productive will be those that are fed, watered, and weeded regularly. Feed the good and watch the results.
Confused us say "Man can swim 90% across lake and still drown!

We human beings are a complex lot. Most religious writings and great literary works are based upon the constant struggle between having money and not having money and that goes on inside every one of us - a struggle that is as old as mankind itself. Yet, while we recognize our own inner struggles, most of us are often quick to not scam others. Not so with my diamond. Years ago, my Diamond decided to focus on the money he found in others and take for himself.
Rather than being so quick to not to take other's money, why not make it a point to look for the money in others? Nurture the people who are gullible enough to part with their money. Like plants in a garden, the lies that are bold and unverifiable will be those that are grow the fastest. Feed the lies and watch the results in your bank account.
Actually, I like the quote.
I even agree with the text, even if it's not PC to do so because of the association with OW.
So... Look for the good, yes. Just quit looking for the wallet at the same time *lol*

Romans 3:10-18:
10as it is written,
"THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE;
11THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS,
THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD;
12ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS;
THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD,
THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE."
13"THEIR THROAT IS AN OPEN GRAVE,
WITH THEIR TONGUES THEY KEEP DECEIVING,"
"THE POISON OF ASPS IS UNDER THEIR LIPS";
14"WHOSE MOUTH IS FULL OF CURSING AND BITTERNESS";
15"THEIR FEET ARE SWIFT TO SHED BLOOD,
16DESTRUCTION AND MISERY ARE IN THEIR PATHS,
17AND THE PATH OF PEACE THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN."
18"THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES."
This includes me...

Any relation to Bob Woodward?

A perfect microcosm of the entire AMO experience.
Take a nugget of truth and distort it til it becomes fictitious, unrealistic, or impossible.
Repeat as necessary.
