Personal reputation can be finicky.
Someone (keeping him anonymous) told me sidewalk bicycling is illegal in Florida.
His comment came after i described how much and how far i was bicycling when i stopped running.

You are what you eat.
True?
Probably.
Think about your professional development.
Not what’s on your bookshelf, because all of us pad our shelves with great books we’ll never find time to read. Those great books sure look good sitting there, masquerading as part of our knowledge base.
But show me only the books you’ve consumed.
This hints at who you are.
Not a bad place to start.
However.
However, what really tells us who you are (and who i am) are the questions we ask – how much we care about mastery.
How much we care about our art.
Something we could write a book about.
And 99.9% of us will never do it.

This is your vision in a pair of work clothes. It’s your unifying goal.
You must identify every single touch point and then consistently deliver your Promise all day, every day.
It’s simple, emotion trumps everything. And exceeding expectations trumps meeting expectations.

You can also think and see in a way that excites and scares you like never before.

A snippet from The House That Ogilvy Built:

Creating a First-class Business:
More than anything else, the glue that held together the organization as it grew around the world was training. Ogilvy used the metaphor of a teaching hospital. “Great hospitals do two things,” he said. “They look after patients, and they teach young doctors. Ogilvy & Mather does two things: We look after clients, and we teach young advertising people. Ogilvy & Mather is the teaching hospital of the advertising world. And as such, it is to be respected above all other agencies.”
