Recognize These Experts?

The big question today, “What makes a person an expert”?

Recognize these experts?  Here’s a small list to get you ready for today’s main post, which is separate.

  • Equality – Martin Luther King
  • Humility – Mother Teresa
  • Creativity – Walt Disney
  • Winning – John Wooden
  • Independence – Ghandi
  • Speed – Usain Bolt

Okay, ready?  I’m going to tell you I’m an expert too.  Before I do, please read the PS below.

PS.  I’m heading to Helsinki in a few days to represent the United States in the Master’s Track & Field World Championships.  Boastful or not boastful, it all depends on the size of a person’s mind.  Carpe diem, jeff 🙂

It happens every time, doesn’t it?

It happens every time, doesn’t it?

In my hotel room, with few distractions, it’s easier to focus on what I’m going to say this morning.  And you know what?  It’s gonna happen.

It happens every time.

Seriously!

Predictably, there will be two camps.  There always are.

Two camps:

“That’s too simple“.

“I already know that“.

Let me remind you, please, after 35 years in business and 10 years as a professional speaker, I’ve become an expert.  I’ve spent 25 years here in Central Florida, almost daily being influenced by the presence of neighboring Walt Disney World – I can see the nightly fireworks and hear the steam trains from our home.

Here are two simple truths in quote form:

“It’s not hard to do things as much as it is to simply decide to do something.  It’s the deciding that’s hard“.  —  jeff noel

“The concept is easy.  Any idiot can have a good idea.  What is hard is doing it.” — Christo

Like I always say about Walt Disney, “It’s not the Magic that makes it work, it’s the work that makes it Magic“.

So, what’s my main job when I speak?  To get everyone to make “Common Sense, Common Practice”!

Make it a GREAT day, because if you don’t, who will?  People are depending on you to be great today.  Be GREAT!  It’s common sense, eh?  Carpe diem, jungle jeff  🙂
