As I embark on this blogging journey, I find myself house-locked because of a fractured ankle. In an effort to serve my family, employer, and clients, I injured myself and have caused myself a bit of down time. However, Romans 8:28 says "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose". I decided to use this 'downtime' to begin a project I have put off for sometime because I was not sure where I should begin. So.... I am beginning at the beginning.
This initial blog will be short. I will introduce myself more over time, and I will discuss my approach to embracing and living out values. I begin now by suggesting that values should not be some nice sounding words that we post on our websites and walls and forget. They SHOULD be guiding principles that enable us to demonstrate a level of integrity (a value in and of itself) so that those with whom we interact can have some idea of what they can expect of us.
I hope you will come with me on this journey and, together, we will begin to impact the quality of behavior we each demonstrate. Who knows, maybe we will start a revolution that sweeps the world over and improves the quality not only of our behavior, but of our lives, our products, our services, our outlooks, and our outcomes.
About Me
- SamuelO
- I was born the last child in a relatively large family by today's standards. My father owned his own business and encouraged us to own our own businesses as well. I worked for my father's business after school, on weekends, and on holidays to ensure I learned HOW to work, and to ensure I had money. My father and mother sacrificed their dreams and aspirations to provide for their children and extended family members. This set the stage for many of the values that I fought vehemently to reject. Later in life, I have come to comprehensively embrace the values my parents demonstrated and sought to instill in me and my siblings.
