I wish...

I wish I were the type of person/personality/look that could pull off wearing this hat…

I don’t know why but I like hats and jackets.  Maybe I should have been born in the 20’s when it was cool to wear hats and trench coats.  While I’m thinking about it I wouldn’t mind a Tommygun either :)
.  Anyway, I don’t think I could pull this hat off…you’d have to be in a city and wearing an expensive suit.  

I also like these hats but again…not sure I could pull off the look. 

Oh well.  For now I’ll stick with baseball caps when I’m out in public and maybe a hat like this one for camping/working in the yard.

Are you a leader?

Quoted from http://www.jonacuff.com/blog/1-sentence-that-proves-you%E2%80%99re-a-leader/

When I was getting ready to go out to lunch with another public speaker, I thought to myself:
“What can I give to this person?” instead of “What can I get from this person?”
It’s a two word change. It’s subtle and simple, but that shift is one that has taken me years of selfishness to eventually make.
Leaders ask:
“What can I give to this person?”
Takers ask:
“What can I get from this person?”
“Give to” versus “Get from.”
That’s it.
So, are you a leader?
