Legacy-Do You Know What Your Imprint with Be from the Grave?
In an article entitled, "Leaving Our Legacies Mindfully", the author discusses how we should think about what our legacy will be and do so mindfully. In a culture filled with selfies, I often wonder how many of us actually care about what our imprint on the world will be when we take our last breathe. Three things resonate with me from the article: Passion, caring, and living authentically. When we are passionate about something, we are invested and willing to go beyond the call of duty. Feelings behind our passion are often our reward for the work that we do. When we care about others, we say to them that their lives matters. One thing that has taken a back sheet to our selfie culture is our ability to truly care about others. This can be how we treat each other on a daily basis and most definitely how we step up in a person's time of need. From caring, grows empathy, grows compassion, and ultimately leads to real change in our lives and the lives of those we come in
Really try to grasp why and how this is happening in the country. I learned today that in Pennsylvania, where I live, the deal Philadelphia made with Ackerman had to be completely funded by the school district, after the private donors back out of the deal. Just shy of a million was given in the payout.
ReplyDeleteWhat's worst, it was only three or four months ago when Philadelphia stated that they had a 600,000 shortfall in their budget after the Corbett budget cuts this year. So where did the 900,000 come from?
The governor and president needs to put a stop to this type of practice. Money for schools should go to the SCHOOLS so that they can provide the STUDENTS with a high quality program and the TEACHER with adequate compensation!
