“You’re Probably Afraid Where You Stand”

Would this be good on a business card?

As a slogan?

As a conversation starter?

As a kick in the ask pants?

Your pants.

What Does It Take For These

Best of the Best = Gold Medal
Best of the Best = Gold Medal

What does it take for these accolades:

  • Person of the Year – Ben Bernachi
  • Athlete of the Decade – Tiger Woods
  • Top You Tube views – Susan Boyle

The last one, top You Tube views is amazing because of the staggering odds against it ever happening.

  • 120,000,000 views
  • More than 2nd, 3rd, & 4th most viewed combined
  • Before last year, who the heck is Susan Boyle?

For everyone who isn’t embracing the Internet, you still have time.

Yesterday’s announcement of the iPad is just another indication the world is changing.

Embrace it or ignore it?

Pick one.

Longfellow Quote

Is More Better?
Is More Better?

“Give what you have.  To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.” — Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

This Longfellow quote came to me in a most unusual way. A piece of mail from Senior’s First, a Central Florida charity to help seniors who can not help themselves.

But what is so powerful is recently, I was talking to someone about what happened on Christmas day, while we where doing our 11th annual Christmas day tradition – delivering Food for Families.

The month before doing the same thing on Thanksgiving day, we had a van full of food, and got lost, spending several hours making deliveries.

But on Christmas morning, as we pulled away from Ocoee High School, Cheryl said all the deliveries were on the same street.  We found the street in about 15 minutes, delivered the food and were done.

Cheryl asked if we should go back and do more.

And I said, “No. We shouldn’t let the amount of time determine the value of our efforts. We should feel good about what we did to help.”

And so it goes, the constant battle to listen to society’s stereotypes and what’s in our hearts.
