SuperVision v. SuperVisor?

I picked up my youngest daughter Corina, from work today and she was very upset at her "Supervisor".  She went onto say that the last few days this particular person was just barking out orders without even knowing what the worker bees were or had done.  Corina told me that it is frustrating when this "Supervisor" keeps telling her to do something that she has already completed and that he is not paying attention because he is to busy socializing.  This reminds me of a story I heard or read about twenty years ago.  The facts may be a little fuzzy but the story is true:

One harsh winter during the American Revolution group of soldiers came upon a very large fallen tree.  This tree was blocking a road used for supply delivery.  I believe it was a Sergeant  who mustered his men to get on each side of the tree and the supervisor yelled orders to lift the tree.  The men struggled due to the weight of the tree.  The supervisor continued to yell; put your backs into it!  Another soldier walked up upon the scene and when he saw what was going on, he ran to help.  The supervisor continued to bark at the men who with the help of the last soldier barely were able to pick the tree up and move it out of the way.  Once the tree was moved the last soldier removed his hood to reveal that he was General George Washington.  Immediately everyone stood at attention.  General Washington turned to the supervisor and said; instead of trying to supervise with his mouth, he needed to lead with his back!

`George Washington had "SuperVision": Super Eyesight!  The ability to see in all directions.  A SuperVisor has a "visor"; Visors are used to shield the view from light from above?  HELLO. Did you just get what I wrote???  Supervisor's have poor vision and since like produces like, they promote the people like them.

The question is not if your have supervision but what is your Super-Vision?  Well Ernie, I am not over anyone to have supervision.  My response would be you First then your Family!  I told my oldest daughter Breana many years ago that reading and writing and arithmetic are important but our family vision needs to be that we all finish together.  The only way to finish together is for us all to get to heaven.  Now that is a Super-Vision for my family!

This Christmas examine you vision for your family, and if it is not, you can make it a Super-Vision.  It will start with you.

Merry Christmas, Love
