"The question graduates must ask themselves: If not me, then who?"

This oped by the father of one of the subjects of the book "Brothers Forever" is well worth considering. Almost a companion piece to this is a TED talk by a guy named Simon Sinek on leadership in business. http://www.ted.com/talks/simon_sine...m_medium=email&utm_content=button__2014-05-19
..."As you enter the real world, your success in life won’t ultimately be judged on how much money you make, how beautiful your house is or the model of your car.
You will be judged on your character, and on the impact you have on others.A big part of that is taking personal responsibility, and sometimes making sacrifices when it would be so much easier not to make them.
Think about the question that Travis was asked, and consider in your own life the question he asked in return: “If not me, then who?”

"In the military they give medals to those who sacrifice themselves that others may gain. In business we give bonuses to people who are willing to sacrifice others so that we may gain."
