  2. Think about your own life… ….what do you value?

  3. What do you think these people value? On January 15, 2009, after taking off from LaGuardia airport in New York City, an Airbus 320 struck a flock of birds and was forced to land in the Hudson River. The remarkable calm and skills of the pilot and crew have become an inspiration to people around the world. With the loss of both engines and only seconds to make critical decisions at 3000 feet (914 m) above the river, all the training and preparation of everyone involved came into play. The pilot, copilot and crew had logged many hours of flight time and it was their steady demeanor that helped the passengers remain calm during an intense situation. The remarkable result was that all 155 persons on board survived with reports of only relatively minor injuries. Preparation

  4. What do you think he valued? The “Babe” was born George Herman Ruth in 1895 and at age seven he was taken to St. Mary’s Industrial School for boys. It was both a reformatory school and an orphanage and served as his home for the next twelve years. Listed as an incorrigible child with numerous counts of misbehavior—perhaps due to his parents long work hours—they signed over custody to the Xaverian Brothers at the school. . At age nineteen, Jack Dunn, owner and manager of the minor league team, the Baltimore Orioles, recruited this rising talent. Because of George’s young age he became known as Jack’s “babe” and the name stuck. Within five months the Boston Red Sox signed him to his first major league contract. Later he joined the New York Yankees. During his twenty two year professional career he carved his name into baseball history and American folklore with over sixty home runs as “The Great Bambino” and “The Sultan of Swat.” Drive

Some are every day people performing extraordinary acts of love and kindness. Like Carol Donald, foster parent to 100 children with medical needs in Northern California since 1965. Many of the infants suffered from fetal alcoholism or were methadone-addicted. She feels it's important that the community know the damages of fetal alcoholism. And Carol, through loving arms comforted her babies. When the babies' seizures were so bad, Carol would rock them on her chest - sometimes for 24 hours - until the seizures subsided. Love

That experience really stuck with Brooks. A few years later, Brooks decided to get over his fear of needles and sign up for the bone marrow registry. A year went by before Brooks received the fateful phone call informing him they had found a match for his bone marrow. Brooks flew to a hospital in Denver for the bone marrow donation. He said, "The procedure is dangerous and very painful, but I knew it was the right thing to do. I hoped that my small sacrifice, in some way, made a difference." Sacrifice
