We invited our social work colleagues who are members of a variety of professional listservs™ to contribute unique motivational words, wisdom and anecdotes. The following were selected from over 200 submissions by practicing social workers who on a daily basis move this specialty forward. This collection reflects the attributes of Wisdom, Heart, and Courage as sought by the Scarecrow, the Tinman and the Lion on their adventures along the yellow brick road (Baum, 1900). We offer these thoughts to inform and inspire your journey.
