That’s a leader.

What are the qualities of a good leader?

Memorial Day isn't just a time for barbecues and the unofficial start of summer; it is a profound reminder of the sacrifices made for the freedoms we enjoy—and the opportunities those freedoms afford. Just as the brave men and women who served our nation displayed courage and dedication, we, too, must harness these qualities as we embark on our personal and professional journeys of self-improvement. Self-growth requires ambition, resilience, and commitment to forge ahead, just as those heroic individuals did on the front lines for our freedom. As you (we) honor Memorial Day, take a moment to reflect on how the principles of sacrifice and determination can fuel your path to excellence. Remember that the most significant transformations often require small, consistent efforts over time—be it refining a skill, embracing new challenges, or fostering deeper connections in your professional network. In paying tribute to those who dedicated their lives to our nation, let their legacy inspire you to break barriers and elevate your potential. Your ambitions today can become the achievements of tomorrow, and your personal growth can be a testament to the sacrifices of those who came before you. The choices you make now are not just for yourself but your lasting tribute to those who have paved the way for a future of endless possibilities. Each decision, each step towards self-improvement, is a testament to the courage and dedication of those who served our nation. Your choices matter, and they can honor the sacrifices of Memorial Day in a meaningful way.

Red Queen effect - Competitive race to the bottom competition. Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!" — Lewis Carroll, Alice Through the Looking Glass If you're in the Red Queen race, you have three options: First, adopt a blue ocean strategy, exiting into another industry or field. Or, Acquire a jet and travel at 4,500 miles per hour. Or, Face loss and failure. The first two are challenging because they require significant changes. The last is self-destructive and should be avoided at all costs. (While you can learn from failure, the best lessons often come from observing others' failures and successes.) Relying solely on personal experiences for learning is usually not advisable. Considering that there have been 107-117 billion people who have ever lived, you should learn from their successes and failures. Even negative experiences teach valuable lessons about what not to do.
