WITandWISDOM(tm) - March 8, 2007 ISSN 1538-8794 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: "We can stand affliction better than we can prosperity, for in prosperity we forget God." - Dwight L. Moody Source: Weekend Encounter, by Dick Innes, Copyright (c) ACTS International, 2004, http://www.actsweb.org/subscribe.php ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: Queen Victoria received the stunning Kohinoor Diamond as a gift from a maharajah when he was a boy. Later as a grown man this maharajah visited Queen Victoria again and asked for the stone. Taking the diamond and kneeling, the maharajah gave it to the Queen again, saying, "Your Majesty, I gave you this jewel when I was a child, too young to know what I was doing. I want to give it to you again in the fullness of my strength, with all my heart and affection and gratitude, now and forever, fully realizing all that I do."

I was, therefore, shocked when I heard him using the electric sander in the basement one evening. Thrilled he was finally getting to some chores, I tiptoed downstairs to sneak a peek at what he was doing. There I found him industriously sanding off the burnt bottoms of the chocolate chip cookies I had just made. - Laura Siitari ~~~~~~~ TRIVIA: The Center for Creative Leadership in San Diego reports that companies whose leadership was rated high in ethics, employee motivation, employee development and communication enjoy 20% higher profits. Employee replacement costs range from $5,700 to $50,000 per person, not counting the immeasurable cost of knowledge loss.
