THOUGHT for Your WEEK

Setting An Example

Last week was an emotional week for many thousands of Canadians. Jack Layton, Leader of the Official Opposition Party in Canada, passed away.

To quote Albert Einstein, "Setting an example is not the main means of influencing another, it is the only means." I am not writing about politics, I am writing about a man who set an example for all of us. Mr. Layton influenced thousands of Canadians. He was an example of a man who truly had a passion for his work. He did not just speak about the issues; he actually worked to have issues resolved. He took up causes that he believed in, causes that many others shied away from – causes such as the homeless, AIDS, violence against women, the environment, to name only a few.

His life was dedicated to helping others who perhaps could not help themselves. He believed in equality for all and that no one should be left behind. He was a source of inspiration for thousands, and when he passed away on August 22nd, 2011, it shocked a nation. People of all political beliefs, of all ages were saddened. Never in this country's history has there been such an outpouring of emotion. And, the reason for this, is due to a man who supported and worked for the people; a man who would take up the cause of those less fortunate; a man that influenced and touched the lives of thousands of Canadians.

I leave you with a quote from a letter that Jack wrote to Canadians, and it is my hope that it inspires you and gives you some insight into a man that will be missed:

"My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world."

Jack Layton

1950 - 2011

THOUGHT for Your WEEK

The Hard Part Of Balance

A lot of people talk about balance in life today especially since we all seem to have really busy lives no matter whom we are or what we do. I suppose it is fair to say that this is part of our modern society. Not too long ago, however, I remember a lot of discussion around the advancement of technology and how it would make our lives a lot easier. I now doubt this very much for a number of reasons.

If you are unfortunate enough to work for a company in a capacity other than an employee who can honestly say that their job responsibilities definitely end when the clock strikes five, you are probably very familiar with a briefcase full of work, or a laptop, email, cell phones, and Blackberries. Now, a lot of people have taken . . . . .
