"Be great in act, as you have been in thought." William Shakespeare (1564 -1616)

The top of the sculpture has a solid nickel alloy figurine placing stepping blocks over a series of crystal ledges. The figurine is following through with his plan to cross the chasm. The scene very much conveys activity and application of ideas. The solid crystal ledges are attached to a solid rich mahogany colored wood base and attached with a reflective metal sheet on the top of the base.

Teamwork is illustrated with this beautiful Dragon Boat.

It's been 2,500 years since the Chinese began having Dragon Boats. They can be any length, but the crew sits side by side. Only paddles are used and they are NOT attached to the boat. See how easily these twenty-two figures slip through the water as they strive toward a common goal. The boat is made of solid rosewood with solid alloy accents for the dragon's head and tail. 

A plaque is possible. You can see in the photo where it would be placed.

There is a very personal reason we post this item. Perhaps, it resonates with you too. Recently, I went to a Holocaust Museum.  

My guide stated: In 1930 Lithuania, about 10% of its population were Jews...about 200,000 people. 180,000 of them were killed. Of the 180,000 killed, what people don't realize was that about 140,000 were killed in their own town...typically by gun shot. Only 40,000 died outside of town at concentration camps, etc. It was pointed out that a rifle shot can be heard 3 miles away. Every time a Jew was shot and killed, so more than 140,000 times, people in Lithuania heard the sound....but they did nothing...the population of "locals" was much larger than the number of "Nazi's"....yet, the locals did nothing to stop the killing....and in just one country there were 180,000 Jews killed.

Hopefully, we can learn from this experience. However, the news today questions that is happening. If there is an issue you, or your organization, feel strongly about - could be a social issue, a local issue, whatever revs your engine, you can purchase this. 

The words: Choose to MAKE A DIFFERENCE will be on the top two lines. You can add your organization name, a person's name, a date, whatever. You have a choice of 3 base colors: copper, silver or gold (as shown in the photo)  It will arrive in a blue presentation box. This item looks good and is especially meaningful. Since we will be personalizing EVERY one of these, there is NO cost for customization - EXCEPT for a logo. There is a $20 cost to add a logo.

How can you make a difference in the world today? Because:

You CAN make a difference.

Teamwork Rowers: 

Teamwork is the ability to work together for a common goal.  It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon goals. 

The four rowers are made of silver (nickel) alloy. Quite elegant. Rowing together is a great symbol of teamwork.

Any crew is aware of how important each individual rower is to the whole. Have you read the book "The Boys in the Boat"? A 2014 book written about the University of Washington crew during Hitler's reign. They won the Olympic Gold Metal. Fascinating book about what it's like to crew and be a member of a boat. Definitely teamwork.

The base is black crystal. The text you see in the image is already on the base and is white in color. Very high quality. However, you can still personalize teamwork with a plaque.

Teamwork is available in  2 sizes. This size is 6 inches long. Larger size is 12 inches.

ACTION   "Nothing happens until someone makes it happen"  

Life is only what you make of it. This is a good motivational gift.

A stainless steel ball sits on one end of the base. On the other end is a solid alloy figurine sitting on a metal prod.

The solid wood base in dark mahogany is covered by a reflective stainless steel sheet.  You could add a plaque which would be placed on the opposite side...OR...plaque you order could be placed on TOP of the Make it Happen inscription.  Tell us preferred location in TALK TO US. OR...tell us to NOT attach plaque and you can decide when you receive it location you prefer for plaque.
