Blog Two For Leadership Class - A Little About What I Heard

      Never before had I heard the final chapter of 'teach a man to fish,' which is to say I learned something new.  The saying goes...give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and feed him for a life-time, or teach a man to teach a man to fish and feed a village.  I was previously applying the a fore mentioned wisdom and have continued to implement the process of true leadership, the creation of a system that carries the idea of one person into the future forever; leadership that is not based on self elevation, but world elevation; leadership that is a catalyst for continued innovation on a certain theme.
      Utah Healing Arts(UTA) is a group that organizes BYU students to perform their musical talents for local nursing homes, hospitals and half-way houses.  Last year UTA had three events per week at the same time every week.  The program directors would round up all volunteers necessary to fill the time slots for each event, or in other words they would find guitarists, pianists and vocalist to perform various songs to fill and hour block of time.
       Under the premise of teaching men to teach men to fish, I decided that any student could do what had been previously done with UTA; any student could coordinate with retirement homes and other students to make quality events.  So, I set out to create a new system in which my friends and I will teach other men the skills necessary to organize these events.  They in turn will go out and begin to recruit others to participate in service and ultimately become group leaders themselves.  When the system begins to function properly, it should in theory spread profusely.  I believe in reaching the limits of limitless.

ps - The inspiration for involving others into a basic framework of service allows for individual interpretation and creativity while still fulfilling the basic intent of providing an opportunity for BYU students to serve and develop a desire for life long service.
