The law on drunk driving in Louisiana is on of the toughest in the nation. There is a mandatory prison sentence for anyone convicted of driving while intoxicated. Getting it passed was a major victory for various groups against drunk driving, and they could have not gotten it passed if it wasn’t for the help of one particular state legislator who sponsored the bill.
It wasn’t long after the new law took effect that the first person to be arrested tor driving under the influence was brought before the judge and found guilty and was sentenced to his prison term. Who was he? The same legislator who sponsored the bill.
“For the way you judge, you will be judged, and by your standard of measure it shall be measured to you.”

George Adam Smith tells us that he was once climbing the Weisshorn above the Zermatt Valley in Switzerland with two guides on a stormy day. They had made the ascent on the sheltered side. Reaching the top, and exhilarated by the thought of the view before him, Smith sprang to the top of a peak – and was almost blown away by the gale. The guide caught hold of him and pulled him down saying, “On your knees, sir! You are safe here only on your knees.”

Encouragement
Keeping hope alive is one of the few functions a leader performs. During those times in which others are lost in a dark and seemingly endless maze of despair, effective leaders will drive away the darkness with positive projections for the future. They’ll infuse those around them with optimism regarding themselves, others and the future of the organization. They know when to draw alongside someone. They sense whether a team member needs a quick admonition or a shoulder on which to cry.
Effective leaders sustain hope by offering words of support. And a little bit of encouragement can go along way toward motivating those around you.
