PEBBLE
[for a drop of inspiration]
We who would learn to fly must first learn to walk and run and climb and
dance; we cannot fly into flying. – Nietzsche
REFLECTION
[shared from subscribers]
Fire can burn
But cannot move
Wind can move
but cannot burn
Till fire joins wind
it cannot take a step.
Do men know it’s like that
with knowing and doing?

RECOMMENDATION
[explore these resources]
The folks at U.S. News & World Report have created a new magazine. FAST
COMPANY is only a year old and is already becoming required reading in
organizations ranging from Fed Ex to Planned Parenthood to college courses
around the country. I recommend it to anyone seeking to keep current in
this FAST world! Due to a special arrangement with the publisher, Ripples
subscribers are eligible for a discount: $12.50 for 10 issues. If you are
interested, email me your name AND MAILING ADDRESS and I will submit all
names collected by Friday. Don’t Delay!
SNIPPET
SHAKE IT! I was part of some incredible leadership training in River
Falls, Wisconsin this weekend (we didn’t get to bed until 4 am.–how is
that for late night leadership!) and in one of the sessions we explored the
value of HANDSHAKES. A firm shake is like a “hand hug” and leaves a
memorable impression while maintaining appropriate boundaries. So reach
out and shake someone today!
