Wherever you go, go with all your heart.

Confucius

The dedicated person does not give up the fight for goodness and right, even when our culture and systems make it difficult.

Author’s note:

I mention in the book “Little Book of Virtues” a movie from a few years back called “Greater.” It portrays the true story of Brandon Bulsworth, who was a “walk on” (no scholarship) at the University of Arkansas. I HIGHLY recommend this movie as it is very entertaining, a true story about someone whose life illustrated many of the virtues so well. Possibly none more than “Dedication.” At the time of this posting, the movie is available on Amazon Prime to rent for $3.99. Well worth it!
