“I was arrested, handcuffed, and taken to jail, where I was fingerprinted and photographed,” he said. “ Needless to say, it opened my eyes to a world I’d seen only in the movies. I was glad when I posted bail and was able to leave.” Maxwell compared himself to the characters Mr. Magoo and Forrest Gump and relayed a leadership lesson for his blog readers: “...Take responsibility for your own actions,” he said. “What I did was wrong, and it was my fault. I certainly didn’t intend to break the law, but I will face up to the consequences.The second lesson, to use the words of my friend Kevin Myers, is this: 'Stupid hurts.' If you’re not paying attention and you do something stupid, it’s going to hurt you.” |
