Wasn’t fishing for a compliment from the social worker

From the Internet but don’t know who to attribute it to.

 

i talk and write prolifically about health, wellness, balance, Disney, excellence, death, living, personal responsibility, excuses, and second chances.

In our lengthy conversation, i never shared what i do nor where i spent a lifetime working.

And i certainly wasn’t fishing for a compliment from the social worker.

Spoke with her for 50 minutes. She was a generous listener, a wise counsel.

And at one point she said, “You really have a strong grasp on the issues you face. I talk to many people but I don’t talk to many people who have that.”

While her agency isn’t the right one, she was the right one for the first call.

Not what’s on your bookshelf

Disney books
i have not read them all. Some i have read twice. And, i have literally lived them all.

 

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.

What if we did?

Benchmark, benchmark, benchmark

i’m glad most of this page is out of focus.

 

Benchmark, benchmark, benchmark.

This video is simply, and brilliantly produced.

Mike Dooley speaks truth in his own language, yet it’s a universal language that is work interpreting.

PS. Most workbooks i’ve benchmarked, including Disney’s, are typically packed with text.

Eliminating theory is to gain wisdom

Eliminating theory is to gain wisdom.

Analogous to being an arm-chair quarterback versus an actual quarterback.

Knowing life’s best quotes and timeless sayings is irrelevant if all we have is knowledge.

Execution is key.

Period.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
