The Fund Development Professional
Choosing Your Road—Organizational Development Specialist or Just Another Fundraising Technician
Don’t measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.
—John Wooden, American basketball coach and member of the Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player and coach
Truth walks toward us on the paths of our questions. As soon as you think you have the answer, you have closed the path and may miss vital new information. Wait awhile in the stillness, and do not rush to conclusion no matter how uncomfortable the unknowing.
—From the book Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear (New York: Penguin, 2003), 32
