Initiative and Helping Others

“A man never stands so tall as when he bends over to help a child.” -Abraham Lincoln

A co-worker and friend of mine just recently started a blog.  His reasoning behind starting the blog was to help other people.  He is our Chief Engineer at our TV station and is fully aware of the confusion behind the DTV conversion that will occur next February.  There is alot of miscommunication out there-and this conversion will effect everyone.  Therefore, he decided to try to clarify the basics and empower people to take the necessary steps.  Give the gift of his expertise-readers have their own Engineer to ask questions to!

He was never asked or required to start this project.  In fact, he didn’t know how to even get the blog started.  One day he came to my office, sat down and said he wanted to start this project to help others. He decided on his own it was the right thing to do.  Next thing I know, he has written numerous posts and is getting emails with questions from around the country!

I was very impressed with him for two reasons…1-he took the initiative to start a blog on his own 2-his blog is to help others.  It is rare you see both initiative and caring in peoples actions. 

Kudos to Russell for providing his invaluable knowledge to viewers everywhere.  You have motivated me!!!
