It was brave of you to share some of your personal reasons for do things you consider unproductive.\n\nI think all people probably procrastinate at least some of the time, but I also think it is important to achieve balance.  We spend a lot of time beating ourselves up about what we \"should\" do.  And then proceed to procrastinate anyway.  So maybe cut down on the guilt and accept the fact that we are human and need a little facebook time now and again.  Not everything is equally fun in our lives, but until we are actually ready to do those unpleasant tasks, we are going to fiddle around.  I\'m procrastinating about a stack of papers I need to grade as I type this.\n\nBut remember that creativity needs time and space to grow and you never know what will seed your next blog post or great idea.  The news, facebook, twitter, and a lot of other distractions help me find the inspiration to focus and get what needs doing done.\n\nSo thanks for sharing your thoughts and giving me a little place where I can think about procrastination.

Most leaders I deal with know all of these things, but few do them and when they do, not much actually changes. For example, be a great \"delegator\" only works if the leader has built a strong sense of direction in the organization and trusts that people are good at their jobs. Otherwise, delegation is bogus and doesn’t work.\n\nIn over 15 years of working with organizational performance improvement, we have been able to develop and implement leadership programs that actually develop leaders because they are based on leadership in the messy real world conditions of uncertainty, limited information, conflicting agendas, insufficient resources and many other challenges. The core of these leadership programs is what we call the 4 \"positives:\"\n\n- Positive deviance -- leverage your best people\n- Positive images -- focus on the greater purpose the organization is trying to achieve\n- Positive practice -- consciously take the time to practice doing everything in the organization right the first time\n- Positive reflection -- take the time to think about what happened when you tried to do something right the first time\n\nIf a leader does just these 4 things, she will do everything on listed in the post and a lot more, and it will take much less time.', 0, '1', '', '', 0, 0),

I think it has to be built into the culture of the organization.  If you don\'t have people with the skills and competencies that you trust, it is difficult, or bogus, as you put it.

A great follow-up from the author -- that is awesome.\n\nYou raised the question about the \"why.\" I think that two things have changed recently. First, there is Dan Pink\'s work on Motivation 3.0, particularly the section on Purpose. In my experience, this sense of purpose (the why) drives everything, but it isn\'t a lame mission statement but a powerful statement of the social good the organization is trying to create. Second, when purpose gets combined with the newest neuroscience on positive images, completely new opportunies for leadership emerge. Leaders who understand these two factors (and a few related ones), are likely to be better leaders sooner.\n\nI would be happy to show you some of our work if you are interested and would love to learn more about your work.

Everyone in the organization to know  WHY they do what they do.\n2.  For the organization to have a list of values.

Such situations do not involve repetitive operations, particularly in situations where team goals evolve over time and team membership is constantly changing. In these situations, quality and efficiency are not the most important factors for determining effectiveness (consider, for example, operations at NASA and the two arguably preventable shuttle disasters).\n\nAmy Edmondson put forward a very useful model which describes work in terms of the “Process Knowledge Spectrum” – I wonder if reference to Amy’s work could be employed to expand your argument beyond the metaphor of mass production?\n\nAt one end of Amy’s model, we have the “Routine Operations” of mass production, as well as any work that is predictable, well-defined and repetitive (such as the work of an accounting department) and in which failures are caused primarily by deviation, inattention, or process inadequacy. Such routine operations can be effectively managed through appropriate training and monitoring quality.\n\nIn the middle of the “Process Knowledge Spectrum,” we have “Complex Operations” characterized by teaming across distance, cultural, and status boundaries, and across disciplines - consider all the junior and senior people across multiple disciplines that come together from different organizations to design a building, run a humanitarian relief effort, or deliver health services in a hospital system. Even in large multi-national manufacturing firms, complex operations exist whenever a cross-operational task-force is formed to address a specific strategic challenge.\n\nAt the far end of Amy’s model, lie “Innovation Operations,” the bleeding-edge R&amp;D departments, where “failure” has a very different meaning from failure in routine operations – in fact, there are typically very many failures before a viable product emerges. Sometimes, failures in innovation operations are even re-tasked as new unexpected offerings: Amy reports that “…Pfizer’s lucrative Viagra was originally designed to be a treatment for angina…”, for example.\n\nAdmittedly, it’s no surprise that a one-size-fits-all approach to quality and efficiency falls apart when we consider contexts beyond the subject of your post (efficiency in mass production and routine work processes). But I’d be interested to read your thoughts on these other contexts.\n\nFor more on Amy’s excellent work on improving the effectiveness of teams across contexts from mass production, to multi-discipline collaboration, to cutting edge research and innovation, refer to: “The Competitive Imperative of Learning,” HBR, July 2008 http://hbr.org/2008/07/the-competitive-imperative-of-learning/ar/1 , “Strategies for Learning from Failure,” HBR April 2011 http://hbr.org/2011/04/strategies-for-learning-from-failure/ar/1 , and “Teaming: How Organizations Learn, Innovate, and Compete in the Knowledge Economy,” Jossey-Bass, 2012 http://amzn.com/078797093X .', 0, '1', '', '', 0, 369),

These persistent artifacts of the industrial revolution have had very little relevance for generations now, not only in knowledge intensive sectors such as the professional services industry, but also in workplaces built around the routine operations of mass production that originally inspired them.\n\nEven the steelworks at Sparrows Point, where Fredrick Winslow Taylor (the founding father of ‘Scientific Management’ and 20th century management practices) once worked, abandoned the traditional command-and-control management model in 1993 in favour of developing a more engaging system to provoke a culture of knowledge sharing and teaming (refer to W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne, Harvard Business Review, “Fair Process: Managing in the Knowledge Economy”, January 2003 - link to article: http://hbr.org/2003/01/fair-process-managing-in-the-knowledge-economy/ar/1 ).\n\nOut-of-date hierarchical and bureaucratic cultures built around command-and-control structures will continue to hobble the organizations that cling to them in the years ahead as the Millennials (Generation Y – born between 1977 and 1997) become the dominate workforce demographic (J.

I picked it up as a recommendation from a friend awhile back.  While I do love the idea of knowing where my more natural strengths and gifts are, I was also cognizant of how we could easily fall into confusing moral issues as being the weaknesses we can ignore, if that makes sense! :)  ie Someone who\'s strength lies in teaching as opposed to \'giving\' could easily use that as an excuse to NEVER give if they are in a position to do so.  This is just one example of many scenarios I\'m sure we can come up with.\n\nI loved all of the points you highlighted.  Especially this one:\n\n\'Weaknesses make me empathetic of others. Were it not for my own weaknesses, I’d judge you. I’m way too quick to judge and criticize others when they are weak where I might be strong. Judgment separates.\'\n\nIn the same vein as I shared above, this  is also the other side of the coin.  This is where we have an opportunity to accept that I have certain strengths that others may not have and vice versa.  Sometimes we mistakenly judge simply over the diversity of our natural gifts and talents.  Judging someone who doesn\'t have a talent for speaking and teaching when it\'s simply not their gift! haha\n\nThanks for sharing your heart and thoughts Mike.

I, too, have experienced the inequities of corporate life as you have described. I don\'t think government regulation will solve that.

It\'s not just about how older leaders deal with younger workers. It\'s also about how younger workers relate to their leaders and how they can succeed in the new normal we find ourselves in. In a relativistic truth model, the behaviors of a corporation as you describe cannot be judged to be unfair. After all, what\'s right for them is okay. Everybody\'s okay. Everyone\'s view is okay. It is like playing a game where everyone makes up the rules to fit how they want to play.\nI would propose that it is only by living by an absolute truth model that we can operate effectively as a society. Then we can judge what is fair and unfair because we have a solid standard by which to judge. Our country\'s history has had a foundation of common values and behaviors that have served us well and enabled us to grow and build as a nation. We have moved away from those common values and behaviors. We need to return to what has worked and refine as necessary. Where we are at now isn\'t working.', 0, '1', '', '', 10678, 309),

One idea about \"bringing God back into schools\" involves a balanced presentation of the ideas from the Bible. We seem to have lost our ability to dialogue with people with whom we disagree. Are we able to consider the truth of scripture? And are people of faith able to present the practical truth of scripture without insisting that people conform to it?\n\nBut this is a double-edged sword.  Can we actually teach people to learn without insisting that we\'re the authority?  Do our schools really want people who learn, or do we simply want people who pass standardized tests and follow rules?  School didn\'t teach me to learn. School taught me to do what was required so I could get a grade.\n\nI wonder if we don\'t need a new teaching on violence. What if we really embraced abundance. The industrial revolution created a scarcity mindset. Supply must meet demand. Violence is a desperate response to a scarce world. An abundant world is one where we understand that we \"reap what we sow.\" What we give away is what we get. When we respect and encourage and help others we become the beneficiaries of a gracious, supportive society. We need to teach people to give more than they get. And we need to encourage people who do.\n\nAnd when I say \"teach\" in the paragraph above, I mean live. At least for me, I want to live my example and let my actions speak. (This happens to be another biblical principle.) I reject people who tell me what I should do, especially if I don\'t see them doing it. You might disagree with me, but if my life documents what I believe, to me that\'s a more persuasive argument than anything else.\n\nThanks for the challenge.  Mike...', 0, '1', '', '', 10688, 243),

I hope this forum allows for a dialogue with many people from all walks of life.  It is my hope that when we see a common purpose, we can move forward toward finding solutions rather than just digging in our heels.  I want the answer to be yes more often than no.\n\nSo I come to your first point, teaching the Bible in school.  I think our kids would benefit from a broader exploration of faith traditions.  The question is always which God do we teach about?  I\'d like us to learn about all the Gods and learn from those that have none at all.  Our inability to find a way to discuss this important part of culture contributes to our continued misunderstandings, discrimination, and prejudice.  It is difficult to hate those you know and understand, those who are shown to be \"just like us\" in so many ways.  I am not suggesting this is easy, nor do I want schools to become places of worship, but I do think we need to learn about God in schools.  We need well trained, qualified teachers to help our students understand the nuances and subtleties of religious tradition, just as we need qualified teachers to help our students understand literature, chemistry, or calculus.\n\nAs for your second commentary about what we teach kids, that is the ongoing educational discussion.  The balancing act between accountability through standardized testing and teaching what is \"good for kids\" is a tightrope that we do not walk easily. Yesterday I read a blog post about upending our curriculum and creating a focus much more in line with what you are suggesting.  Perhaps you might find it thought-provoking.  http://www.chicagonow.com/soul-to-soul-perspective/2012/12/newtown-connecticut-time-to-change-the-way-we-educate-our-children/', 0, '1', '', '', 10689, 258),

For example...\n\nGUN CONTROL\n-- I have the right to defend myself, therefore I should have access to the weapon of my choice. Because rights come with responsibility, I am responsible for knowing how to properly use and secure that weapon.\n-- My personal safety rests in the hands of others. Personally owning or carrying a weapon is unnecessary. With the right law and right enforcement we can manage the behavior of people so that my personal safety is insured by the actions of others.\n\nHEALTH CARE\n-- I have the right to pursue health in all it\'s forms. Because rights come with responsibility, I am responsible for pursuing a healthy lifestyle and the resources necessary to access the health care I need when my body or mind begin to fail.\n-- My health care rests in the hands of others. By law others should be expected to identify, treat and provide for my health care needs regardless of the lifestyle I choose to pursue.\n\nAnd the list goes on...\n\nThe difficulty of the fundamental question is that it doesn\'t have a solution. Most of these questions don\'t represent a problem to be solved, but a tension to be managed. Like getting hungry - it\'s morning. I\'m hungry for breakfast. I\'ll eat an egg and some toast. Problem solved, right? Not really. By lunch I\'ll be hungry again. Being hungry isn\'t a problem I\'ll ever solve. It\'s a tension I\'ll daily manage.\n\nSo how do we manage the tension between individual rights and responsibility and community cooperation?\n\nLet\'s take a look at your questions...the answer to all of them is the same.\n\nHow can we improve our mental health system to identify and help those that need it?\n-- This begins with personal responsibility. The individual and the family are the first line of identification and treatment. We can have the best mental health system in the world, but we\'ll still miss the opportunity to assist the mentally ill if no one takes the personal responsibility to notice.\n\nIs it possible to bring God back into schools and if so, how?\n-- This begins with personal responsibility. The individual and the family should be able to clearly articulate their belief or lack of belief about god and be willing to have an honest conversation about the strength and weaknesses of their belief. Education shouldn\'t simply be about the partially digested wholly regurgitated \"facts\" of our day, but should include an exploration of undiscovered country. Science will be best served when challenged by religious and philosophical thoughts. Religion and philosophy will be best served when challenged by well reasoned arguments. Our students - and ultimately our society - will be best served when we expect our schools to be a place that encourage these conversations rather than limit them.\n\nWhat steps can we take to stop those who wish us harm from getting guns?\n-- This begins with personal responsibility. The laws we need are on the books. We need to enforce them. We also need to recognize that law is a deterrent, it is not a guarantee. A wicked individual, with wicked intent will always find a way to accomplish wicked things regardless of laws or access. 9/11 demonstrates what wicked people can do with a box cutter.\n\nInteresting idea - people fear what they don\'t understand. Let\'s take the mystery and \'hollywood\' out of guns and train people how to safely use and secure them. Let\'s make self defense part of physical education classes in school - not focused on weapons, but not excluding them either. Let\'s \'arm\' people with the knowledge they need to interact with law enforcement and protect themselves whenever necessary. The intent here is not to train warriors, but individuals with the confidence to manage a frightening, chaotic and potentially life threatening situation. Basic first aid would be a good part of this curriculum.\n\nIs it possible to make our schools and public spaces safer?\n-- This begins with personal responsibility. More law isn\'t really the answer. With every law that\'s written we lose part of our freedom. Laws are necessary, but they should be well written and carefully considered before we pass them. A well informed, well trained public will accomplish more for public safety than any kind of restriction or increase in law enforcement personnel.\n\nShould teachers or principals have guns?\n-- This begins with personal responsibility. I have a great relationship with the teachers and staff at my children\'s elementary school. They are relationships we have worked together to develop. I would trust any of them with my children and with a gun. With the right training they could be the last line of defense in a tragic situation. I understand that what I just said is personal. I\'ve worked to get to know those who will teach my children. Not everyone wants to do this and some, for various reasons, simply can\'t. But shouldn\'t building healthy parent/teacher relationships be a fundamental part of education? The student may be the focus, the classroom may be where the work is accomplished, but the \'family\' is intimately and directly involved in the success of the education. Let\'s recognize that and redesign education to maximize that truth rather than circumvent it. In doing so - questions of safety become more easily managed.\n\nIf you made it this far - congratulations! Thanks for reading. I look forward to hearing your ideas.\n\nGod Bless,\nChad', 0, '1', '', '', 0, 265),

It seems far easier to let \"the authorities\" or the experts or the people whose job it is handle it than to risk stepping over that line of socially acceptable \"intervention\".\n\nDo I believe in personal responsibility?  Absolutely!  But personal responsibility cannot stop at being responsible for ourselves because we share responsibility for what those in the field of sustainability call the commons - those things we must share and care for together if we are to not only survive but thrive. And there are people who genuinely cannot care for themselves like the mentally ill, nor are their families equipped to care them.  I think we do need to find ways to help people who need help although I agree it must start with the people who come into meaningful contact with them.\n\nWe need to find a way beyond our focus on individuality (or the overly individualistic interpretation of personal responsibility) because the \"I got mine\" and it\'s none of your/my business mentality is just not sustainable - not for society or for the planet!', 0, '1', '', '', 0, 244),

Through the past election season there was plenty of debate, and it continues as we consider the role of government in our ongoing budget discussions.  What concerns me is the problems with determining the acceptable level of personal responsibility here.  At what point do we decide that a person has done \"enough\" and is worthy of assistance?  At what point do we say, sorry, you are just going to have to suffer your bad choices.\n\nIt is in our nature as humans to attribute bad things that happen to us to our environment and own  what is good for ourselves.  We achieve good because of hard work.  Bad is the result of circumstances or bad luck.  This is normal, healthy behavior that keeps most of us out of the depths of depression.  Interestingly we do the opposite when we consider others.  Other people who do well and are \"lucky.\"  They have good genes or had good handed to them, but have earned and deserve the bad.  I believe this fundamental attribution error inhibits our ability effectively determine a course of action when interacting with others in need.\n\nCombine this with the truth that we are actually really only in control of ourselves and our community breakdown is complete.  In the end, people will only do their best when THEY want to, not when we want them to.  We want people to act in their best interests, but they already are in a sense.  People always do what they think is best at the time.  The most we can hope for is to INSPIRE people to act differently, to offer alternative courses of action and demonstrate that they work effectively by living them out in our own lives.  Every person I have ever watched improve their lives has done so because they wanted to, rather because they were forced.  Every one of them had missteps and failures, and every one was supported by others in helped up when they were ready.  Some achieved their goals in a moment, some are working on them still.  And all I can do is continue to help when I can and live my own life as well as I can.\n\nAnd that is where Susan and I cross paths, in this belief in our mutual responsibility to support each other.  It is impossible for me to know or judge the actions of others without a complete understanding of the life-long context of the decisions they made.  And as that\'s not really possible, the best I can do is try.  When I talk to people, the question I ask most often is, why are you doing that?  The answers help me understand their position and figure out if there is a way that I could help.  Sometimes there is...  sometimes not.  I don\'t really wonder if I should help, only consider whether I can.  It is because of my feelings of responsibility that I am empowered to act, and this attempt at understanding allows me to help without fear of it being a waste.  I am not walking their journey, but I can control what I do...\n\nAnd I know I am eternally grateful for those friends and strangers that helped me along the way.', 0, '1', '', '', 0, 258),

Appreciate your applying today\'s leadership needs to this man. At only 25 years of age, Knox led a small group of men on a 300-mile journey from Boston to Fort Ticonderoga in New York State. Once there, his men disassembled cannon taken when the British surrendered the fort and retreated to Canada in May 1775. In less than 8 weeks, Knox and his men moved 60 tons of artillery across lakes and rivers, through ice and snow to Boston, where the British, now out-gunned, fled.\n\nAnother interesting read on one of our nation\'s great leaders (past and present) that I recommend is \"Washington, A Life\" by Ron Chernow. Such an compelling read, and as Knox\'s commander, this book details the true friendship these two heroes had and I haven\'t been able to put it down.\n\nHave a great 2013!\nCheryl Walters', 0, '1', '', '', 0, 0),

I just had an epiphany about a recent exchange that was oddly incomplete. It felt that information was being deliberately withheld and I couldn\'t imagine why. Then I realized that the other person had so much more to lose than did I, and I was the one in control of this particular situation. I relaxed and felt great empathy for the other. Suddenly I knew there was so much more space for everything to work out favorably for everyone.\n\nA more hidden aspect of this was that the other person had not long ago been sorely disappointed by the outcome of many months of faithful effort. When I thought about how that must have felt, I was even more motivated to allow the most appropriate and magnanimous outcome for our situation.

Because of a leader\'s perceived power, employees or followers work to maintain cordial relationships. However, leaders cannot expect that to mean genuine friendship, support or passion for a mission or a cause. Despite that truth, leaders must focus on building trust and cordial relationships even if they are sometimes not reciprocated.', 0, '1', '', '', 0, 0),

One of the biggest problems I see in our society today, is in the fact that we are so used to hierarchy that we readily accept that our value must be earned. We value ourselves and others by how much power and authority we are able to gain from others. There is a lot of talk about equality but the modern concept of equality is that it is earned and only realized in outcomes of sameness. I think focusing on all people being equal in value and not needing a leader to rule in authority over anyone, is the best way to value and empower all people. Accepting diversity, rather than subjecting it to equal outcomes, makes it possible for every individual to contribute what only that person can contribute.

But what if we can all come to better appreciate how valuable each and every one of us is already and that we all have enormous passion, intellect and creativity that can be unleashed.  Unfortunately, there are far too few hierarchical leaders who think like that who can catalyze that type of thinking and behavior in their followers.\n\nIt is my belief that we can all become leaders right where we are at any level and start to impact and change our world.  We can all show up with our own unique value by recognizing we have the choice and the opportunity.  The only person stopping us is ourselves.

People can only learn what they are able to learn and synergize with their own knowledge and understanding. Changing attitudes can\'t be done by force. The best way is to live what we believe and be open to hearing what others believe, as well. My thoughts have been on equal value and though the message is an ancient one and doesn\'t originate with me, it has changed my life too. It\'s amazing how people in the higher levels of hierarchy respond when we choose to view them as equals, It also, is amazing how it changes those who believe they have nothing to offer because they have no place in that hierarchy, when we elevate them by our treatment of them. Being eye-to-eye and face-to-face does a lot in holding people accountable. Change isn\'t so much an outcome as it is a process. I see that we have each embraced a process that is helping us to become more fully who we are intended to be.

Okay I am being a glib. However, having spent 20+ years in strategy execution as an internal and external in a couple of dozen organizations, I have come to believe that there are systemic issues - as in ‘built into the systems and culture of the organization’.\n\nIn back rooms people will tell you: \"this is the third time we are taking a run at this strategy\", \"people may get fired but that\'s rare\" or \"those who get fired are charged with executing the strategy not those who designed it\".  There is little connection between what is the ideal strategy for the organization and what is the feasible strategy for the organization.  Those in execution are always preparing the contingency decoys (they have to because it is a survival technique), i.e. the initiative fell short because ... x competitor changed their strategy; y change in external environment (economic collapse, FX rate blind side, etc) or z supplier failed (delivered late, over budget or inferior product).\n\nThe real problems are more like: executives are more focused on quarterly reporting than they are on 3 yr strategic plans (compromises always undermine the long term); this is too much change for the organization (i.e. bandwidth, adaptation capacity); the independences (read cross-silo) are not well understood; leaders are not fully committed because they have to hedge for survival, promotion, next move.\n\nI would add to the excellent points above:\n- Stop jumping into strategy. I know, feels like plenty of time is spent upfront?yet, still we fail.  Invest more time in better planning. Try a few different things: play through the strategy with the whole team and probe the cross functional implications; bring those executing into the strategy process and make those designing strategy work in the business, on the floor.  “In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.”Albert Einstein\n- Jettison the notion of ‘creative tension’, i.e. when executives have to compete (for ideas, resources, power, etc) they perform better. This is a fallacy. The only way to succeed going forward is to collaborate.  Internal competition is toxic to collaboration. Collaboration is a major culture change?invest in it appropriately.\n- Stop firing people for failing - fire for incompetence. They are actually qualitatively different tho hard to differentiate.  You want to keep competent people who failed so that the organization does not make the same mistake next time.\nThe obvious answer is this: if we want different results we have to do different things.  Alas what may be obvious is not simple.\n\nGreat post-really fired up my brain today.  I will be further developing it for my blog and will reference back here as well.', 0, '1', '', '', 0, 0),

What dazzles from looking at a Picasso isn\'t just his paint. It\'s his practice. Zen like. He himself attributes his craft to it. Its what he says is responsibily for the simplicity behind all. Once saw  a time exposures of a body pose he did via flashlight. Not one line error. Not one mis-direction. His practice rigor made it and all he does look that simple, that easy.\n\nSo sure, its that paint. But for us mere mortals its also remembering its the practice and appliction.

This is not usually the way that guarantees quick results and that sometimes becomes the issue.\nWe have become so enamored with instant results that leaders are often forced to make decisions that will not produce sustainable change but will give a quick bump to the P&amp;L or the next quarterly earnings report.  Then it becomes the challenge of continuing to prop things up with another set of temporary decisions quarter after quarter because that way you stay in the role.\nIt is a true challenge to actually disturb a system and try to harness the energy the disturbance creates in a positive manner to move the system forward while still producing the economic results needed.\nThanks for the thought provoking post.', 0, '1', '', '', 0, 0),

I love tips 9 - 13, but they are all great tips. I would add tackle BHAGs too. Big, Hairy, Audacious Goals, a term made popular by Jim Collins in Good To Great, are the stuff of legacy. In the summer of 2010 I survived cancer AND rode a bicycle across America.\n\nMartin\'s Ride To Cure Cancer was a 20 year old BHAG that felt like it needed accomplishing NOW since NOW is all we are ever promised. I may have learned the NOW lesson the hard way, but it is an invaluable one.\n\nNow I\'m working with the talented team at Atlantic BT, a Raleigh based software and web development company where I am the Director of Marketing, to create CureCancerStarter.org. Cure Cancer Starter will be a crowdfunding platform for cancer research. Our goal is to cut out the middlemen that take 50% off the top for self perpetuating marketing and plug cancer patients, their friends and families (and their money :) directly into the research process.\n\nBy eliminating the gatekeepers we speed up research and so the cure for cancer. I know what you mean about legacy. The third thought I had after hearing \"cancer\" and my name in the same sentence was about my legacy. Sure I\'ve made a lot of big companies a lot of money and WHO CARES. In the end none of those accomplishments have legs, they don\'t last.\n\nFamily, friends and those who love you is where your legacy resides. I\'m all in on Cure Cancer Starter using my 401K to fund the project. I couldn\'t afford to make such a gesture if I didn\'t have cancer, so life\'s ironies never cease to amaze. Do I care if Martin Smith is remembered? Not at all. Do I care about helping cancer patients their friends and families? Yes very much.\n\nThere is a kinship in a chemo room that is hard to describe. We are instant friends and fellow travelers. There is pain there, but glory and grace too. I want to spend my time focusing on recreating that kinship, that special connection because in there is where LEGACY lives, in there, in that special generous grace, is where we cure cancer so our children and their children will only have to know about cancer from what they read in books not by remembering who they lost.\n\nThat is a legacy worth a BHAG :).
