Rosalinda’s Eyes
We need more people like Rosa Parks. Quiet leadership. Taking action without concern for attention, praise, adulation, or congratulation. Character. Doing the right thing even when nobody is watching. Strength. Standing up for what one believes even when the same opinion isn’t shared by others. Perseverance. Determined to alter the status quo despite the odds.
We need more people like Rosa Parks. She represents important lessons for us all. She saw a bad situation and decided she had to do something to help change it. Her statement was not aggressive or passive, just assertive. She was not consumed with hatred for those who didn’t agree and instead looked for opportunities to enhance relationships with anyone who shared at least part of her vision. She was gracious and unassuming. She encouraged and inspired others to step up and make their opinions known. She made a difference.
