Tomorrow is Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday. Had he lived, he would have been 85 years old! To honor his legacy, January 20 is designated as the MLK National Day of Service. As you seek opportunities to serve in your local community, here are some words of wisdom from Dr. King that apply to our every day work life, too:
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.
An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all.
One of my very favorite Martin Luther King, Jr. quotes is:
I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.
Do you have a particular favorite?
Tuesday Tidbits are weekly messages I send to my leadership team. They are generally short & sweet, often focused on leadership or teamwork, always positive and, hopefully, motivational. I hope you also find some meaning in them.
