WHAT TO LOOK IN EMPOWERING OTHERS
As you evaluate the people you intend to empower, look first at three areas:
1. Knowledge - think about what people need to know in order to do anything you intend to give them
2. Skill - nothing is more frustrating than being asked to do things for which you have no ability
3. Desire - no amount of skill, knowledge, or potential can help a person succeed if he doesn't have the desire to be successful
(John Maxwell)

UKURAN KEHIDUPAN MANUSIA
Empat buku yang ditulis dengan tangan oleh Walt Whitman (seorang penyair) yang telah hilang, akhirnya ditemukan dan dikembalikan ke perpustakaan nasional. Di antara salah satu buku tersebut, ada satu tulisan yang ditulis, "Ujian dari sebuah puisi adalah: seberapa jauh puisi itu bisa mengangkat, memperlebar, memurnikan, memperdalam dan membuat bahagia atas tubuh dan jiwa seseorang." Rupanya Walt Whitman menguji setiap tulisannya dengan ukuran tersebut. Walt Whitman ingin semua tulisannya tidak menjadi sia-sia, tetapi bisa berguna untuk membangun mereka yang membacanya.
Demikian juga dengan kehidupan manusia, kita bisa menggunakan ukuran yang Walt Whitman pakai untuk mengukur puisinya. Ujian dari kehidupan manusia adalah: seberapa jauh kehidupan kita bisa mengangkat, memperlebar, memurnikan, memperdalam dan membuat bahagia atas tubuh dan jiwa seseorang. Pernahkan kita berpikir kalau kehidupan kita akan selalu mempengaruhi kehidupan orang lain di sekitar kita? Apakah kita memberikan dampak yang positif terhadap orang lain?
Biarlah kita selalu mengingat kalau kita telah dipanggil untuk menjadi garam dan terang bagi dunia ini, melalui perbuatan dan perkataan kita. Pada waktu kita menjaga kehidupan kita, kita akan dapat mengubah kehidupan orang lain di sekeliling kita.
"Biarlah jiwaku hidup, supaya memuji-muji Engkau, dan biarlah hukum-hukumMu menolong aku" (Mazmur 119:175)
