Yesterday afternoon, former mayor (of Philadelphia) John F. Street dropped in on the students in the BITS program. About 300 or more of us were gathered in one of the large Gladfelter Hall auditoriums, from 2:00 to 3:00.
Based on the things that were discussed during this meeting, i think the intention of Mayor Street's visit was to teach the BITS students a few lessons about life, and encourage us to keep moving forward towards our life goal, but in a fun interactive way.
When I first heard that the former mayor was planning to visit the BITS students, I was reluctant to go. I thought that he would ramble on and on about his experiences as mayor or some other topic that wouldn't really catch my interest. Contrary to my prior belief, Mayor Street presented a wonder program. It was a nice blend of fun and powerful life lessons. I liked it a lot. At the end of the program Mayor Street left us with an insightful quote about life. He said, "A man (or woman) who stops to throw a stone at every barking dog, will never reach his destination." Think about it ...
