Some will say we did our best. Some will say we could have done better. Only the three of us will know, and we will not know as a trio, only as individuals within the trio. Did I do my best? Did Jieliang do his best? Did TA do his best? Did we inspire others to do their best?

Remember what my former boss Don Balue said, "There is only so much you can get done by yourself, but it's unlimited what you can get done through others.

When I left Dallas in 1968 for Tulsa, one of the Motorola salesmen said this, "When you go to work for a company, it's like sticking your finger in a bucket of water. There are a few ripples, but they are soon gone. When you leave the company, it's like removing your finger from the water. There will be a few ripples at first, but soon they will be gone and there will be no evidence you were ever there.

Ben, Jieliang and TA, we have 17 days remaining. How do you want to be remembered?

The District 16 Trio is my June 14, 2014 'Toastmaster of the Day'.
