Aspire to Lead

I read this on Scott Mabry’s blog – elumn* today. “Inside many of us who aspire to lead is a burning desire to make a difference. We’re not satisfied with sitting on the sidelines or waiting for someone to tell us what to do. We may not get it right but we’ll be damned if we’re going to go down without a fight. In the immortal words of Def Leppard we’d rather “burn out than fade away”. “

I didn’t think of Def Leppard, rather Teddy Roosevelt and the Man in the Arena. But, I understood the desire. The desire to finish in the face of all odds, but vision to change the world must have political support or there will be no ROI.
