Bringing Us Together

by Walt Carvalho

There are times when paths cross and memories are formed.

There are some people who have the ability to impact others through the interest they have in providing value. As we perceive this value we realize that it’s also one of the main ingredients in leadership. There are people who manage situations while others surface as leaders. While managers manage, leaders develop. What people often don’t realize is that mangers are easily hired and placed as the enforcers and regulators of some authoritive concept.

The River of Opportunity

by Walt Carvalho

When it comes to strength building, there is nothing like flexibility.

In ancient eastern philosophy, flexibility was thought of in relation to the flow of water. As the river flows and bends, it doesn’t fight the rock or the shore, it simply flows by adjusting to what exists at the time. The river is always adapting to its course.

Reflecting into the Future


by Walt Carvalho

The masses always look back on greatness, while greatness can see the future.

As people and the ways of doing things change, human potential gets tested to accommodate that change.

In early days, many years ago, humans would roam great vast lands waiting for something to appear. Hunting was a random chance, a way of life with two daily outcomes, eat or starve. While most were focused on the daily struggle, some viewed their situation as something to improve. The next phase might have been as simple as hunting with others so they had the ability to surround their game. It probably took time, but eventually, more and more solo wanders became team hunters.
