Thomas Edison once said, “Success is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.” Another famous quote is, “The harder I work, the luckier I get.” But, sometimes it is just luck. Blind luck!
Yesterday, I viewed (stayed in actually) where blind luck helped a town. After 9/11 the Hilton Corporation decided that they wanted to reach out to country as a whole, following upon President Bush’s model of “Acts of Service.”
They appeared on the Rosie O’Donnell Show, having Rosie throw a dart at a map of the U. S. It landed upon Clinton, MO. Last night I stayed in a brand new Hampton Inn that resulted from that dart toss.
While a single motel won’t completely alter a community, this new motel is a big step up from the handful of other motels in Clinton. Hopefully, it will lead to other great developments for a wonderful town.
