Give it up, Mr. Speaker
To Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan:
I understand the importance of experience and value of a decade or two of service. But 30 years or more? Give it up and give your grandson or granddaughter a chance.
No matter what your job, you are there to serve. It makes no difference if it is government, military, business or any other endeavor. Go in with a commitment to selfless service, never selfish service.
Cheerfully and with gratitude take your gold watch or plaque, get off the train before somebody throws you off. Spend a moment watching the old train disappear, then start a new journey on a new train.
