Get paving.

I told you, didn’t I, that I was reading a biography of Theodore Roosevelt?  Actually, it was three biographies, all by Edmund Morris:  The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, Theodore Rex, and Colonel Roosevelt.  (All quite good, by the way.)

The final volume ended with a quote from a schoolboy writing a report on the former President in 1922.  Thomas Maher called Theodore Roosevelt “a fulfiller of good intentions.”

There’s something wonderful about that phrase.

You know what they say about the road to Hell?  Paved with good inentions.  You can’t fulfill a good intention, though, unless you have them.  So, Tuesday’s Tip is to get paving–and then get fulfilling.

I hope someday the same could be said of me–“a fulfiller of good intentions”–although I am absolutely certain I fall far short of Teddy

What about you?
