"It's a Calamity to have NO Dream"
One of the greatest leaders I have ever known was the late Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, the unforgettable president of Morehouse College. Dr. Mays used to challenge the young men of Morehouse when he would say:
"Let it be borne in mind that the tragedy of life does not lie in not reaching your goals. The tragedy lies in having no goals to reach for.It's not a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity to have no dreams.
It is not a disaster to be unable to capture your ideals, but it is a disaster to have no ideals to capture.
It's not a disgrace to be unable to reach your stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for."
What are your dreams? What are your goals? What ideals are you willing to fight for, and are you reaching for your stars? If not, what are you waiting for?
