A Message from: Evan Leonard, President
I always like to
take a positive view of life and reflect at different times of the year. This year has been very unpredictable. My wife’s culture believes leap years are
always unpredictable. There seems to be
more questions than answers from the election, events from this past year and
more. That is why it is even more
important to reflect and make sure we take the time to be thankful.
I am a huge
believer in technology but think there is a time and a place for it. This weekend is about connecting with humans
and putting down the smartphone.
The
latest book I read, The Big Leap, talks about how we can spend more time in our
Genus Zone and what are our upper limiting problems. Upper limits do not pertain to negative
thoughts or feelings. Instead it is invigorating
and liberating to think about how we are all limit ourselves sometime from our
genus. This does not just mean our
professional life but personal as well.
I have made it a point to share with my family my genus this
weekend. In this book, genus does not
mean a high IQ in math or a subject but rather where you are able to make the
most impact.
With
Thanksgiving approaching, it is time to cherish the good memories, celebrate
with those around us, and give countless thanks to all that we have despite
what is going on in the world. Try to look for the positive in what is going
on, rather than the negative. Take a step back with loved ones and truly
appreciate the times that you have together and how we live in a constant
transforming, technological world. Happy Thanksgiving to All.
