I bought a pair of Timberland hiking boots recently. I was about to throw the box away when I noticed something written inside. At the very bottom of the box it said:WHAT KIND OF FOOTPRINT WILL YOU LEAVE?
On the underside of the lid was the following challenge:
"HOW WILL WE CHANGE TODAY? The opportunity to make it better is everywhere if we choose to act. Better is seeing a void and filling it. Hearing a call for help and answering it. Taking a wrong and making it right. It is as small as making boots, shoes, and gear or as big as changing the world. Better is giving employees paid time to serve. Building a house. Painting a school. Empowering our youth. Feeding the hungry. Or revitalizing a community. Better is a call to action. A rallying cry. Fearless. Determined. Passionate. And connected. It is searching within. Reaching out. Heading into the eye of the storm. Adventuring out to the middle of nowhere. And doing so with purpose. So when the sun sets and we think about what tomorrow bring, we understand that better is not what we do. It is who we are."
I thought this was worth sharing. Thanks, Timberland, for the reminder.
