Leader Return Prophet

More From Franklin D. Roosevelt

Everything comes by being! be the love you seek. be the friend you seek. be the lover you seek. be the honesty you seek. be the integrity you seek. be the patience you seek. be the tolerance you seek. be the compassion you seek.
Honesty Integrity Love You
The unwillingness of most leaders to set standards, to administer feedback when standards are not met, to praise clearly when standards are met, stands in the way of the development of excellence. the leader who makes no demands of his disciples cannot really lead them at all. the sense of new excitement and new challenge generated by the gospel will be blunted by leaders who shield followers from the full demands of fellowship.
Leader Challenges Excellence
It's your life - but only if you make it so. the standards by which you live must be your own standards, your own values, your own convictions in regard to what is right and wrong, what is true and false, what is important and what is trivial. when you adopt the standards and the values of someone else . . . you surrender your own integrity. you become, to the extent of your surrender, less of a human being.
Integrity Important True And False
Only the mediocre are always at their best. if your standards are low, it is easy to meet those standards every single day, every single year. but if your standard is to be the best, there will be days when you fall short of that goal. it is okay to not win every game. the only problem would be if you allow a loss or a failure to change your standards. keep your standards intact, keep the bar set high, and continue to try your very best every day to meet those standards. if you do that, you can always be proud of the work that you do.
Fall Loss Winning
Predictions are uttered by prophets (free of charge); by clairvoyants (who usually charge a fee, and are therefore more honored in their day than prophets); and by futurologists (salaried). prediction is the business of prophets, clairvoyants, and futurologists. it is not the business of novelists. a novelist's business is lying.
Lying Novelists Prophet
Indeed, the sort of crimes and even the amount of delinquency that fill the prophets of israel with dismay do not go beyond that which we regard as normal, as typical ingredients of social dynamics. to us a single act of injustice--cheating in business, exploitation of the poor--is slight; to the prophets, a disaster. to us injustice is injurious to the welfare of the people; to the prophets it is a deathblow to existence: to us, an episode; to them, a catastrophe, a threat to the world.

Cheating Nature Giving Up
It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. if we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.
Cheating Prayer Helping Others
You cannot succeed in one department of life while cheating on another, life is an indivisible whole.
Cheating Balance Succeed
Cheating is not the american way. it is small, while we are large. it is cheap, while we are richly endowed. it is destructive, while we are creative. it is doomed to fail, while our gifts and responsibilities call us to achieve. it sabotages trust and weakens the bonds of spirit and humanity, without which we perish.
