Lest We Forget

We arrived in Darwin Oct. 8, 2011.  One of the things I noticed in Darwin are the numerous War Memorials usually inscribed with the following words : Lest We forget...

Let me borrow this then for my topic today:.......

Lest we forget------

Our experiences are our own, let the others experience theirs

Lest we forget -------

our experiences are not better than that of the others

Lest we forget------

our experiences provide us with different competencies  where we excel

Lest we forget------

Our reality is not the only reality

Lest we forget------

just because "we think we know" , we really do know or we are more knowledgeable than others

Lest we forget-----

our position or status in life does not guarantee we are more loved or better respected

Lest we forget------

we are here to work and enjoy life and not to be boss

Lest we forget------

being in the limelight does not make us the "bida"

Lest we forget----

perceptions are just that perceptions (not necessarily the truth)

Lest we forget----

we are all equal in the eyes of GOD, and in the eyes of man , but others have "guaranteed
seats, others have to hitch a ride"

Lest we forget-----

Humility begets respect, we all have time to eat our "humble pie" ,perhaps now is our time

Lest we forget ------

our position does not make us better that the others

Lest we forget----

we are here to assist each other and that does not make you the boss

Lest we forget----

we are here to do a job and not to be prima donnas

Lest we forget------

Credit grabbing is stealing

Lest we forget----

our jobs give us perks, not the right to be mean nor to be rude

Lest we forget-----

being better at something does not give you the right to belittle others

Lest we forget-----

once in a while we have to eat our humble pie and live with that fact

Lest we forget-----

courtesy is still one of the best policies

Lest we forget-------

maybe we have been chosen, but we are not the only chosen one or two

Lest we forget----

we maybe in the lead but it does not mean we are the leaders

Lest we forget-----

if we raise ourselves above others, gravity will pull us down

Lest we forget----

we don't have the monopoly on intelligence

Lest we forget----

when we are blessed, we share, we pay it forward

Lest we forget-----

we can not demand if we are asking for assistance

Lest we forget-----

our lives are intertwined, this is a circle and what goes around, comes around
