Those are the words made famous by former US President Richard Nixon after being suspected of being involved in the Watergate scandal in United States history. I am told that he made that speech on stage at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
I stood upon that same stage this week addressing a group of association Chapter volunteers. These folks assembled from many different parts of the world in an effort to better thremselves in their volunteer work with their home Chapter organizations.
Now although my words weren't used to claim innocence of a wrongdoing, I did encourage the attendees to continue to better their respective communities through their volunteer work as well as making an commitment to themselves through on-going personal development.
This got me to thinking.
If these people can travel from the four corners of the world in an effort to better themselves personally and professionally, how hard could it possibly be for the rest of us to pick up a book or listen to a learning CD once in a while?
You decide what your history will be by what you do today. Let me know if I'm going too fast here.

Nope, not going too fast at all. Gets me thinking about questions like: "In twenty year, when folks will be sitting around the kitchen table talking about you, what would you like them to be saying?"
Nice piece
