Are you willing to step up when the need arises? When the call comes, do you step forward? Raise your hand and say, ‘I will’?

Are you willing to take responsibility and address the problem? Take initiative? Do what needs to be done?

Are you willing to make a difference? Then reach for the broom and get busy.
