On sharpening the saw ...

Stephen Covey says, "Sharpening the Saw is the single most powerful investment we can ever make in life -- investment in ourselves, in the only instrument we have with which to deal with life and to contribute."

I'm re-discovering Covey ... [Thank you, Yan] ... Covey's books are found on a special shelf w/in my home office. On this shelf are books I return to. These books are worth reading again and again. They contain wisdom literature.

On another shelf is found books on aikido. Yet on a third shelf are books on health and fitness ... Loaning books from these shelves represents a deep trust. When I find folks hovering around this special book case, I try to take note of what attracts them and which books they may not yet have read ... Then sometimes it's off to the used book store where I'll pick up a copy and then give it to the admirer.

Sometimes it's okay to pass along an 'old tool' to friends ... Happy Valentine's Day.
