“A leader needs to stay sharp, sharpen their skills, and keep a sharp mind. Don’t be a creature of habit. Learning new things, staying active, and finding fulfillment is providing service to others or for a cause. Take a break occasionally, to sharpen the mind by traveling so you can hone your leadership and coping skills. Finding a quiet place in nature will allow you to meditate to clear and center your head. Make your mind and leadership skills the sharpest tools in your toolbox!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
