From Sponges to Sprinklers

Dr. Gaines writes: "When life is done properly, human beings should morph from sponges to sprinklers." That line stops readers in their tracks, partly because of how beautifully it summarizes what life is supposed to be about and partly because it makes them realize they (and all of us) might still be a slightly damp sponge. We start out soaking up everything: words, lessons, experiences, but the goal isn't to hoard all that knowledge. It's to share it. Sprinkle it on others."
