Attitude

Things only become a saying or a cliche if they are true.

Do you agree with this?

Remember, these are time-tested.

Passed down from one generation to the next.

Ya with me?

Attitude is everything.

Bonus saying: There are two wolves in life, pick wisely the one you feed.

The key to exceeding expectations

Apple iPhone X delivery
originally scheduled to deliver Dec 1-8.

 

 

Under-sell and over-deliver.

Apple surprised me a couple days ago.

It was delightful.

The key to exceeding expectations is to do things that surprise and delight others.

Wasn’t fishing for a compliment from the social worker

lightbulb evolution
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?
