Failure - The Key to Success in the Greek Community
When I reflect about this video this reminds that is not always about the times in your life that you point to your success, but it is about respecting the process of succeeding - trying. When you try, there is the possibility of failure and success. The more failures that you have in your life reflects your determination to succeed and the worst attitude you can have is to simply do nothing. I keep mentioning in my blogs entries that I have been around the Greek community for quite some time and I feel that this my need to me to stress to all you that I want to share my knowledge. I have been Greek since 2007 and have seen the challenges that we face as a community by attending all most all the different retreats and conferences provided by OSU (vice-presidents diversity retreat, BGlI, CPLi,UIFI,MGCA)and the problems are always the same, hazing and other negative stereotypes of Greeks. As executive council members we should leading the Greek community by trying different programs, different collaborations, different ways to avoid these negative stereotypes of Greeks (drinking and hazing). All of these different methods of promoting change in our Greek community do not need be an instant success, but the fact we actually tried something that lead to inspiring others to the same in our positions. We need to set the tone, the foundation, the attitude, the mission, the goal or whatever else what you want to call it - to promote change that is the direction (elevating), not perfecton.
Also, when I mention change I do not mean progressive change, but revolutionary change.
Love your mention of Revolutionary change over progressive change.
