Thought of the Week

By Coach Frank DiCocco

From the HOPE Foundation for a Better Tomorrow

What Can I Do?

How much better would our world be if instead of thinking about ourselves all the time, each of us thought about others, and about what we can do for others? How much better would each of our lives be if we all made it a habit to constantly ask ourselves… “What can I do…?”

“What can I do …

… to help someone else today?

… to help make someone else feel better about themselves today?

… to help someone in need today?”

“What can I do …

… to help bring hope and joy to someone else’s life today?

… to help build someone else up today?

… to help make someone else’s day today?”

“What can I do …

… to help make other people’s lives a little bit better, in some way, today?

… to help make my school a little bit better, in some way, today?

… to help make my community a little bit better, in some way, today?

… to help make my society a little bit better, in some way, today?”

“What can I do… to help make this world a better place… in any way, and in every way…today… and every day?

What can I do?

A Thought for Reflection

What you can do for others is more important than what you can do for yourself.

The REAL Man Program has 20 lesson plans designed to help today's youth reach their full potential and give them a stronger foundation in dealing with right and wrong. This program has been used by athletic programs, schools, and youth-development organizations nationwide.
