Maxwell

As I listen to Maxwell talk about books that influenced his life I realize how little time I have lately to read.Three things. Books that have influenced me have also been given by friends or suggested by friends.I do not agree with Maxwell when he states if a book we read five years ago still impresses us we have not grown ? A word of wisdom is timeless, If we haven't applied what we learned from a book then there is a issue , but the word remains the same. People always want to improve their situation but not improve themselves. I like this comment. Its paramount to Christian growth. The only way to improve our situation is to improve ourselves. Happiness should not be the goal. Right living ,or self improvement should be the goal. Happiness is a by product of right living and right choices. This is the one point I try to drive home with AA's and addicts.The link between people and profit is servant leadership !!! Rock on Maxwell can you convince our GM !! He wonders why he gets mediocre from most when all he does is bark orders. Happy employees make happy customers. Its really that simple.
Peace and Love
