But for us today in 2020,
I want to ask that same persistent and urgent question that he asked back then.
The same persistent and urgent question about, "What are you doing to help others?"
You may say that that was given 50-plus years ago.
Well, I'll tell you that when you look in the world today, on how people are so self-absorbed
and people are so self-centered and it's all about me.
We need to be asking this question, "What are we doing to help others?"
Life is a lonely life worth living unless you're doing something to help other people.
So to you: what are you doing to help your
families? What are you doing to help your communities?
What are you doing to help those in the social settings that you participate in?
And bringing it closer to home, what are you doing in Newport News Shipbuilding to help others?
And when I think about what's happening in Newport News Shipbuilding, we're going through a generational shift.
And if there is a time to help others, that time is now.
And when you got those kind of generations in, either it's an opportunity or it's a disaster.
So I'm challenging you today: you've got to do something that helps somebody around you.
Start at home, start in your community and then bring it to the job.
The person on your left, the person on the right - you owe it to them to do all you can to help them.
What are you doing to help others?
Shake yourself, wake yourself.
If you're doing something then that's good. I need you to do more.
If you haven't started doing anything, then today is a mighty good time to start doing something.
This second, this minute, right now is a good time to start doing something.
The challenge is yours. This company is growing. It only grows when you grow.
Don't fail Dr. King and, for God's sake, don't fail me.
Do something to help others. Thank you.
