In the awesome book, Survivors Club, a young man was interviewed that jumped off the Golden Gate bridge and miraculously survived. He remembered waiting on top of the bridge for a long while, just waiting for someone to notice him and commented that if someone had made even a basic inquiry, he wouldn’t have jumped. The only woman who spoke to him was a tourist. She stopped and asked him to take her picture.

This story and its lesson is relevant to organizations as well. Sometimes we think we may not have the time or resources to address those challenges presented to us on a daily basis. But maybe, just maybe, if we stopped long enough to think about lending our resources, we’d find a way.

Thanks for sharing your story.
