“Forward! Upward! Onward!”

I ran across this article a couple of years ago and really liked it.  The more that I read it, the more I recognize how well it expresses my motto of “Forward!  Upward!  Onward!”

 The Lions of Today

 We, the Lions, to continue the proud tradition of Lionism in our

community, our nation, and our world, must become

 THE LIONS OF TODAY

 As THE LIONS OF TODAY, we must...

◦              Be proud of our past, but NOT STUCK IN THE PAST.

◦              EMBRACE CHANGE.

◦              Ask our community "How can WE SERVE you?"

◦              Have a positive "CAN-DO" attitude.

◦              Show KINDNESS to everyone we meet.

◦              PUSH FORWARD in spite of nay-sayers.

◦              LEAD BY EXAMPLE.

◦              CARE about our community, our nation, and our world.

◦              Take the initiative.

◦              ENCOURAGE, NURTURE and LISTEN to our fellow Lions.

◦              REACH OUT to people from all walks of life.


TOGETHER WE CAN and TOGETHER WE WILL


become THE LIONS OF TODAY!
