Vincent Wright - Encouragement Genius

Chief Encouragement Officer Vincent Wright and I were chatting over Skype today and two of my granddaughters were in my office playing.

They saw the "Wright Hand" Logo that Vincent uses as his Avatar on all other platforms except LinkedIn where he was told that he could not use that logo. Very peculiar. It seems so non-threatening.

Here is what it looks like:




As soon as they saw that logo, they went running out of the room, very excited. "We are going to make that hand." they said.

About half an hour later, they brought me their own personal versions of "The Hand" and asked me to explain it to them. "It's the Hand that Matters."

You can see their versions below.

Kids have one thing we adults lost. Innocence.
Sure we can find it again and live a fulfilling life.
For me it must possess these qualities I have gleamed from watching my children grow. Purity. Serenity. Simplicity. Seclusion. Patience.
These are the characteristics of the child's world, which famous people like Picasso, Van Gogh, Mozart, Beethoven, Goethe, Tolstoy, Balzac and Magdiolani all possessed.
Yes they are mature descriptions of child like characteristics but then again once we lose the child within us we must intellectualize the process to get back to it.
Once it is on auto pilot again we can drop it all and just say wonderbar.
