Teddy Roosevelt on Leadership

It was on this day in 1906 that Teddy Roosevelt became the first ever American president to leave the country while in office. He went to view the construction site of the Panama Canal.

Before Roosevelt, it was assumed that a President of the United States couldn't oversee the country effectively if he traveled abroad. Today, this assumption seems hopelessly quaint. Bill Clinton, the most peripatetic of our Presidents, made 133 trips to foreign countries while in office. George H.W. Bush, made 60.

Roosevelt had unusually keen leadership qualities. In the first place, he believed that his leadership abilities were learned and developed. Moreover, his leadership was always compelling and active.

During his journey to Panama aboard the U.S.S. Louisiana, caught up on his reading...he had brought a plethora of reading material, including works by Tacitus and Milton (Much more interesting than grabbing a People magazine at the airport kiosk!). The captain of the ship even let him steer at one point. When they arrived at Panama, Roosevelt was so impressed by the jungle and the tropical wildlife, that he scrambled through the countryside. The chief engineer said, "I have blisters on both feet and am worn out. Scaling a hill with Roosevelt is like taking a fort by storm."

When the Presidential entourage arrived at the canal construction site, Roosevelt espied the 95-ton steam shove...a new invention. He ordered the train stopped...hiked through the mud to see the steam shovel up close...spent a half an hour asking questions about it's operation...and took a turn at the controls. The photograph of the President at the controls became one of the most popular images of Roosevelt....and helped sell the American public on the wisdom of the Panama project.

Financial advisors can make important connections with investors through Active Curiosity in the lives of their prospects and clients. For example, there is no better way to connect with a business-owner or entrepreneur than to visit them at their place of business...and to pro-actively ask them about the enterprise that they have built, or run. Insert an astute question or two...and off you go.

Quotes by Teddy Roosevelt:

• "Use simple, down-to-earth stories to communicate complex issues."
• "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
• "Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground."

Hello

http://www.internetmoque.net - Compared Translations of the meaning of the Quran (6470 pages)

Islam rejects Jesus because:

Jesus is not accepted as `the Son of God'

The Qur'an and Sunnah both teach us emphatically and without any doubt that the Creator considers the statement of the Trinity to be a great falsehood. The Qur'an states (translation):

[19:88-93 - They say: "(Allah) the Most Merciful has begotten a son!" Indeed you have put forth a thing most monstrous! At it the skies are ready to burst, the earth to split asunder, and the mountains to fall down in utter ruin, that they should invoke a son for (Allah) the Most Merciful. For it is not consonant with the majesty of (Allah) the Most Merciful that He should beget a son: Not one of the beings in the heavens and the earth but must come to (Allah) the Most Merciful as a servant.

However, the misconception that Jesus is rejected does not follow from the reason given above. It is more precise to say that identifying Jesus as `the Son of God' is rejected. As a Messenger of Allah, Jesus is accorded the same honor that all the Messengers are given, as the following verse attests to (translation),

[2:136 - Say (O Muslims): We believe in Allah and that which is revealed to us and that which was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received, and that which the prophets received from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we have surrendered. [Arabic "Muslimoon" -

In the game of basketball, precision sight is of utmost importance. The Women Air Max 90 is engineered to stand out on pitch when conditions are not ideal. The yellow and purple color combination flaunts additional fluorescence and brighteners, making it even more visible in low light conditions than previous generations of Hi-Vis balls.
