I Was Made For This

Might Be Easier To Lick This Ashtray?

Last night, the vacationing man in the flowered shirt said, “Some people love work. Not me. I was never like that”.

My friend and I were strangely entertained as the man continued, “Bosses are a-holes, employees are a-holes, customers, peers…all a-holes. Now I don’t have to worry about any of it. Retirement? I was made for it”.

We were surprised by his unsolicited candor.

And marveled at his ability to endure pain.

Rock The Vote?

You Don't Have To Be Mayor To Do Good
You Don't Have To Be Mayor To Do Good

Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the people themselves, and the only way they could do this is by not voting. ~FDR

We are either part of the solution or part of the problem.

Weak, fearful people have no idea what this means, because they are always blaming the other person.

Do something positive today. Better yet, do it all day, everyday!

That’s what personal leadership really is.

Ever heard this one? You can not be a prophet in your hometown.

Or this one? Most breakthroughs come from ordinary people whom everyone else thought was crazy or off-center.

And the kicker? They never gave up, and that’s why they’re successful.

Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield, Chicken Soup For The Soul co-authors, got turned down by 144 publishers.

Ready to give up? Already given up?

Fighting a hard battle for what you believe in?

Get used to getting turned down.

Today the polling stations are open from 7AM until 7PM. We mailed our absentee ballot last week.

Are people voting this year for the best candidate?

Or, for the one who isn’t the worst?

The campaign ads in Central Florida this year were especially negative. Repetitively and obnoxiously negative.

Sickening.

Anyway, if your boss could pick her team over again, would she pick you?

Yesterday’s post and today’s post reminds us of one important fact. Being positive or negative is our choice. And it also goes both ways.
