Wisdom to Live by..in the Investor's Business Daily

One of America's finest business publications, the Investor's Business Daily, has a regular section called "Wisdom to Live By." This section features quotes from some of the world's best leaders and success heroes. Recently, the IBD had this quote from Dr. Seuss.

Seuss on Authenticity
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
Dr. Seuss, author

I find Dr. Seuss' words encouraging in a world that often values political correctness over honesty. Anyone who hopes ever to run for office or hold a high profile position, must not speak his mind for fear of offending some vocal minority, special interest, or individual. Rather than say anything great or bold or inspiring, would be leaders speak in bland nonsense.
