Do You Live Your Life Constructively?

Listening To The News

Today, I was tuned into NPR while I was driving. For the first 10 minutes, all I heard were statistic of how many people were killed, all over the world! The news made me think of my beloved father’s favorite poem.

Think About How You Live Your Life

Have you ever thought about living your life constructively with rule and square?  Take some time to pause and ponder the question. I think reading the following excerpt from my new business memoir, No Bunk, Just BS (Business Sense) 50 Timely and Timeless Truths Business School Cannot Teach You , will help you answer the question.

Constructive Living Poem

Constructive Living
I stood on the streets of a busy town, Watching men tearing a building down.
With a ho, heave ho, and a lusty yell, They swung a beam – and a side wall fell!
I asked a foreman of the crew,  “Are those men as skilled as those-
You’d hire if you wanted to build?”
“Ah, no,” he said. “No, indeed, Just common labor is all I need.
I can tear down as much in a day or two As it would take skilled men a year to do.”
And then I thought as I went on my way, Just which of these two roles am I trying to play?
Have I walked life’s road – with care; Measuring each deed with rule and square,
Or am I one of those who roams the town, Content with the labor of – tearing down!
Anonymous a gift from Alexander I. Newman

Sharing with Others

Constructively Living was my father’s favorite poems, which I enjoy sharing with the attendees in my What Color Is Your Brain?® programs and with family, friends, and colleagues. I hope you will appreciate the words and share the poem with you family, friends, and business colleagues and/or clients.

Closing Thought

Everyday we can choose to read, listen, and/or watch the news of the day. From that information we can take a negative or positive perspective. I like to think we can take a positive productive point of view to make our world, country, community, and/or home kinder, safer, encouraging, more respectful and loving by living constructively!
