Lesson #1 (from Eating the Elephant)

Leaders change the situation instead of being changed by the situation.

A carrot starts out firm but when you put it in boiling water it becomes limp.
An egg starts with a soft inside but when you put it in boiling water it becomes hard.
Coffee, when put in boiling water changes the water completely.

Which one are you?

What challenges have you been experiencing in which you are surrounded by the boiling water. Will it change you ...or will you change the water?
