Atlantis

I was never so Proud of this Country as the first time the Space Shuttle blasted off.  I was never so fascinated as the first time I read a Technical Order about the Space Shuttle at my EOD Shop.  She had Ejection Seats back then. The Ejection Seats, removed after the first few flights.  I was never so hurt, shocked, devastated as the first time I watched as the Space Shuttle destroyed itself.  “Ride Sally Ride”.  I was never so hurt, shocked, devastated as the time she traced a Fireball across the Sky, why must these Good People Die.  My dream of seeing her Fly into the Sky is over forever.  I will live with the regret.  I vow never to regret a dream again.  Good Lord willing.

God bless and Godspeed.  Atlantis and Crew.  Sad and full of Pride.

The Alpha Wolf…Hope Oppurtunity Education, Community.

We all know every Wolf Pack has an Alpha, but it also has a Delta.  This is a pack member that is at the bottom. The other Wolves treat the Delta poorly.  He is the butt of every joke and indignity.  He eats last and least.  He is the Whipping Boy for the Alpha and every other Pack Member.  But the Delta survives.  The Alpha does not kill the Delta.  The Delta eats last, but he eats!  The Delta’s cared for least, but he’s cared for!

Why is this.  If it was not necessary it would not be.  Wolves only engage in activity that is necessary for the Pack to survive.  A true Alpha Leader has compassion.  A true Alpha Leader cares for the entire Pack, from the strongest to the Weakest Pack Member.  An Alpha Leader recognizes this, he uses the strengths, and supports the weakness, of each and everyone on his Team.

A succesful Alpha Leader has the pleasure of receiving many accolades.  They often receive them over and over again.  People are always telling them there Great.  How much they’ve helped them.  Thanking them for Leadership.  It goes on, and on!

Let me say right here, right now.  The praise Alpha Leaders receive is not the reason they get out of bed in the morning.  Their short-list doesn’t say anything about receiving accolades.  In fact Alpha Leaders do not want the attention, they accept it graciously enough, but it puts even more pressure on them.  They know very well that they are, “Human Beings”.  They remember their successes.  They’re haunted by their failures.

In closing I will say this.  Give the Alpha Leader in your life a little pat on the back once in a while.  They’re aware of the good things they do.  They don’t want the attention.  They need no recognition.
