“The Builder” The Fighting Spirit/Lou Holtz

I saw a group of men in my hometown. I saw a group of men tearing a building down. With a heave and a ho and a mighty yell. They swung a beam and the sidewalk fell. And I said to the foreman, “Are these men skilled, The type you’d hire if you wanted to build?” And he laughed and said, “Why, no indeed.” He said, “Common labor’s all I need. For I can tear down in a day or two What it took a builder ten years to do.”

SLIDE 9

“The Builder,” continued

And I thought to myself as I walked away, “Which of these roles am I going to play? Am I the type that constantly tears down As I make my way, foolishly, around? Or am I the type that’s trying to build with care, In hopes that my organization’ll be glad I was there?”
