Baseball Parks - Americana at it's best

As an avid baseball fan, I often visit parks around the country. Whether it's Yankee Stadium in the Bronx or the Coliseum in Oakland the pleasure has always been mine to visit these parks and watch the good old american past time. Over the years it dawned on me that the attraction of these parks to me (and others) is that many of these ballparks deliver an experience that is becoming harder and harder find. No I'm not a classic relic that doesn't believe in progress. Yes the stadiums are new and today you can even pay for food with a credit card from your seat, but the values that sit behind all that haven't changed in most places.

Kids still get balls signed, foul balls are still a fan favorite, the 7th inning is still the 7th inning, and reason people go to these parks is still the same today as it was 100 years ago. Values Though the experience may vary from park to park, I encourage anyone searching for that definition to visit that bastion of americana that has decided to call itself ... the baseball park.

Talent is Never Enough - John C. Maxwell

The new book, as wonderful as his previous works, it is unfolds the wisdom of the ages in his patented style.

"....talent wants to jump into action, but preparation positions talent to be effective"

Leadership it requires: Action, Vision & Passion

Action without Vision makes us pessimistic.

Action without Compassion makes us legalistic.

Compassion without Action makes us unrealistic.

Compassion without Vision makes us fatalistic.

Character - Integrity and Honesty

You can’t spell integrity without the word grit which is defined as “a firmness of mind,” or “unyielding courage.” It takes a great deal of courage or grit to be true to self. In the end, though, it’s worth the effort because our legacies are going to be impacted greatly by our integrity or lack thereof.

-John C. Maxwell
