Develop your ability to take intelligent risks consciously and deliberately by doing things you fear, consciously and deliberately, one step at a time.

Remember how much of a stretch it is for babies to take that first step? Once they do, that second step comes much easier. You would never tell your baby he or she should stop trying, that she or he will never learn to walk. Be kind to yourself. Don't tell yourself that, either.

I went on to serve on many Boards, and raise money for homeless. I considered it “tithing” – giving back. Because of Kennedy’s words, I felt I could make a difference, and as a volunteer coordinator on many occasions, I encouraged those around me too, as well. The results were always gratifying.

Part of issue with Grasso, our former chairman of NYSE concerns this idea of public service. Dick Grasso never completed college and worked his way up SEC, though no one argues he did a good job, while current SEC chairman, William H. Donaldson founded Yale University’s Graduate School of Management and was its first dean.

In addition, Donaldson has worked in both private and public sectors, an exposure Grasso hadn’t had. In a Washington Post article, “Two Wall St. Giants, One Long History,” it’s reported that “most people interviewed said they believe Donaldson truly is disturbed that chairman of NYSE might not view job as a public service post. Grasso … characterized his job as two-thirds businessman, one-third regulator.” The two disagreed as to nature of job. They have different presumptions. Donaldson, by way, has his fortune, but made it before taking chairmanship of exchange. “Donaldson comes at this from Brahmin school that views exchange job as public service,” Columbia University Law professor John C. Coffee, Jr. is quoted as saying. “Grasso has worked there his whole career and has a legitimate Horatio Alger story. I don’t think he viewed himself as taking a vow of poverty.”

Grasso apparently felt he should be compensated like a Wall Street CEO, while Donaldson thought he should be paid as a public servant. The dispute, said Washington Post, “reveals different styles of two men. “

What is public service and what does it have to do with you? How are you with your life balance? What are you withholding that’s making you weak?
