When the stakes are high, so are our emotions. Don’t let high stakes alter our values. No compromising, even if it looks like we might lose.

Lose with dignity.

Win with humility and gratitude.

Perhaps the crowning achievement of leadership is being able to provide others with the same type of game changing opportunities that we were blessed with.

You are the CEO of You, Inc.

We all work for a living (yes, there are exceptions).

Have to do or get to do?

The law of the harvest?

We reap what we sow?

Boastful or grateful?

Depends where on our vantage point.

Ah, The Double-Edged Sword Of Risk And Reward

I've had similar cameras in the past. Ultimately, the desire to carry it all the time made the size an easy choice.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Too much ventured, too much to lose. This is why success is so hard to define and comprehend. There are a million ways to find success. And what’s success for one, is likely failure to another.
