“When it comes to getting things done, we need fewer architects and more bricklayers.”
Colleen C. Barrett, president and member of the board of directors, Southwest Airlines
Translation for Adults
Most people are quick to volunteer solutions to a problem or wrong situation. They offer suggestions or ask why someone isn’t solving the problem. They have the plan, which is what architects do. Those who act on the plan are like bricklayers. Without the action of bricklayers, the architect’s plans are just paper on a desk; but when you act, those plans produce positive results. Now is the time to achieve your goals and stop thinking about them.
Translation for Kids
Most people have ideas about how to help someone being bullied, but they sometimes expect others to act. This is like the difference between an architect and a bricklayer. The architect has the ideas or plans, but the bricklayer does the work, or acts. You may need to think like the architect to create a plan to help some- one, but you always want to put your plans into action like the bricklayer. You must take the action necessary to help someone being bullied or in a bad situation, or to reach your goal.
