The Colonel’s Motivational Quotes of the Day!
Good “Saturday” Morning “Burroughs’ Posse” and all great connections. Welcome to the weekend from the “Eagle’s Nest” from Castle Rock, CO! — 15 August 2020!
Bella, Mom, and I will be out early this morning at Fort Logan National Cemetery placing a “A Flower on Every Grave (Roses)!” Due to COVID-19 we had to move it from Memorial Day to 15 August, but the mission will be completed. We raised over $12,150.00 this year and will be placing 12,000 plus roses today, so I will not be able to respond until later today.
Today is: “Curiosity Day!” Why Not?
“There is an old proverb, “Curiosity Killed the Cat!” In the military line of business curiosity is paramount. Great leaders will always ask the tough questions. They will seek answers from the team and other leaders to make the best possible decisions, that will save lives.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good morning Col Burroughs. Curiosity is important; it helps keep our minds young and flexible. It is when we stop questioning and accept all the answers as unchangeable and unchallengable that we are stuck. I always liked asking "why" when I got to a new squadron. Why do we do it that way? Why are things set up like this? Often I found that people were willing to change, they just hadn't even thought about it. Look around you. Ask why. And then see what you need to change.
