Point to Ponder:
It’s a fine thing to have ability, but the ability to discover ability in others is the true test. – Lou Holtz Legendary Notre Dame Football Coach
Story Line: Lou Holtz coached 132 games in 11 seasons at Notre Dame and guided his teams to an overall record of 100-32-2. Holtz took his Notre Dame teams to nine straight New Year's Day Bowl games from 1987 through 1995.
In the undergraduate commencement address to the students at Franciscan University Lou- with his incredible sense of humor- conveyed important lessons about personal responsibility, trust, and love.
A few highlights from his speech are in the video link on top of the page. For those interested in the full speech (17 minutes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3LOo_Ccyws
Reflection: In my career and life I have learned more from others’ experiences. The lifetime experiences of people like Lou and his willingness to share with people are very valuable asset. In a short time we can learn many important lessons.
It’s great!
Thanks for sharing this. This gentleman is wonderful.

Society has gotten to the point where everybody wants a Right, but don't want to assume Responsibility.
