In the end, what does really matter....?

In the end, what does really matter...?

Yesterday I called an old friend to catch-up. To my surprise his nephew picked up the phone.

My friend does not talk anymore. He will never properly again. My friend had a stroke, which destroyed all brain areas that govern speech and hearing. He is now cared for, cleaned and fed. He never will be the same.

A couple month ago we met up, laughed and had a good time. We are still young, right? Nothing could hurt us, right?

Suddenly, boom, everything is different. We recognize how feeble we are. How even relatively small changes in our bodies can may our lives completely different. How desperately we are in need to reach out beyond us.

"What does it profit a man, if he wins the entire world and loses his own soul? For price could this man buy his own soul?" - Jesus asked this question the people of their times. What is my answer? What is your answer? And how will you take this thought into your company and apply to your leadership style?
