"So sad"- my reaction
Unless you have not heard the news Joe Paterno passed away Sunday. I never attended Penn State. But I can feel for the students and alumni of the school. He was a legend.
Why write a post about Joe? Well, I was wondering if we could learn lessons from news stories.
What lesson would we learn from Joe? He was passionate about football. He coached the team for 46 years. Wow! He won national championships.
Unfortunately, some people will judge him by his response to his assistant molesting children. Maybe his focus was too much on football and not enough on the world around him.
I do not know all of the facts but I believe that he probably did not do enough. He had a lot of power at Penn State. He could have pushed the issue. But for reasons we will never know...he did not.
I believe that the weakest link determines the strength of a chain. If the location is such, the link can be removed. But if it is in the middle then you can not easily do it. The chain becomes a couple of smaller, less impressive, chains.
Today's question is:
"What is your weakest link and how can it get you in trouble?"
