To continue this week’s theme of the truth and humor of Mark Twain, I am just trying to keep up with the eclectic mind he possessed. The more that you read Mark Twain, the more you want to read Mark Twain. His insight on forgiveness yesterday was poignant, please take 30 seconds and reread it. Today, another truth…of friendship, about which he said,

“The trouble is not dying for a friend, but finding a friend, worth dying for.”

Who of us can say that we have a friend worth dying for? And if you do, would you? THAT would be a friend. Perhaps, beyond a friend. Don’t we generally believe that we would die for our family, our children? But for a friend? What a privilege! I have had two.

However, this blog is about Life, Love & Leadership. Why are we discussing Mark Twain and friendship? YOU figure it out. (Hint: it has to do with Love.) Sometimes it just pays to consider some of the bigger things of life. So consider what friendship is and means to you and your friend and make the Rest of today a freakin Great Day!
