The Story of Joe Paterno and his fall at Penn State should be a warning for all of us.
How easy it is for us to defend institutions and their reputations at all costs. It could be a school, a business, a Church and even and idea.
Moral Failure, in a moment, is able to change how people will remember us. They will remember clearly how we built them up or how we let them down. Our Legacy will be remembered. "How" we are remembered is the question. We need to be diligent not to fall into the kind of trap that Joe fell into.
Are you holding on to something at all costs? Who might you hurt in the process? Food for thought, don't you think?
Tommy Tomlinson of the Charlotte Observer inspired this post and tells the Paterno story with great insight and wisdom. See his post here!
