"Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed we possessed." – Dale Carnegie
One of the hardest things I've done at work was firing a customer. Oh, man, it took courage. We'd had a good relationship for many years, but then the company hired a new leader to manage the work with us. This new leader showed little interest in our input, lacked professionalism and didn't seem to care about having a trusting relationship.
BOSTON — When Ben Franklin famously flew a kite in a lightning storm, he made history, but a wind storm over the weekend proved too much.
The Boston Globe reports an 1856 bronze statue of Franklin positioned along the city's Freedom Trail toppled over after a particularly blustery Sunday.
A city spokeswoman says high winds pushed a nearby tent into the statue, causing it to fall off its pedestal.
She says the Boston Arts Commission is working with a professional curator on the repair plan.
Crews were seen placing the statue into what looked like a body bag on Monday.
The Freedom Trail Foundation website says the statue marks the location of the original Boston Latin School, where Franklin was a student. It's the oldest public school in the nation.
