Support, COBE Week 10

This week's blog post:
Energy is important in the last half of the semester.  
How do you use the following aspects to GENERATE ENERGY? Write a sentence or 2 about each one.  (You may have to go to the back of your Radical Leap Book to review some of the terms below):

- Love
- Great Ideas
- Noble Principles
- Interesting work
- Exciting Challenges


I strive to love everybody in multiple ways. Not only be tolerant and respectful of others people but, more importantly, to make their lives and experiences better every day. The more I continue to strive for that goal the more I find myself loving people. The way the book recommends doing this, which I try to do, is by finding a fascination in everyone and cultivating it.
            Great ideas and noble principles go hand in hand for me. When I act in accordance to my moral compass and do what I feel is right and just I think in the same mindset. This allows me to create and foster great ideas to improve the community, the school, and the company we all work for. There is room for improvement in all of these things and fostering these great ideas undoubtedly benefits the three separate entities.
             Finding interesting work is crucial. Not finding the job that fits you and that you can always find interesting but, finding something you enjoy in what you do. Enjoying your work creates a love and passion that is unmatched by any other processes in the way that it fosters motivation and drives in people. Coming to work every day knowing what you do is important, interesting and that you enjoy it has profound effects.

   Besides loving what you do, sharing love and having noble it is important to have something to push you. Exciting challenges and lofty goals are like a wall. This wall presents two very distinct options; leaping over the wall, or being content without the success of completing a goal. As leaders, our job is to create an environment of Love, Energy, Audacity and Proof. The purpose of this is to motivate and support people to combat self-doubt, lack of energy or anything that can bring people down so that everyone can reach their goals. This is truly the only way to change the world, supporting one person at a time.

  1. Sam, you are so on target when you talk about the roles and responsibilities of leaders: "to motivate and support people to combat self-doubt, lack of energy or anything that can bring people down so that everyone can reach their goals." That is so right. You are a very compassionate person and you are trying so hard. I know you have had a challenging go of it as a first year student, but your efforts and sacrifice will hopefully pay off to you in the long run : - )
