Thought Tweet #827.5 Take your big treasure chest of Curiosity off the shelf...dust it off...open it up...and put its contents to good use.

Choose to take your big treasure chest of Curiosity off the shelf.

Leaders succeed when they act in ways that illustrate intelligence, self-control, and focused drive.
