How’s that for a jeff noel five daily blogs blog post title?
“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.
Martin Scorsase was awarded the Cecile B. Demille award last night at the Golden Globes.
I love movies but am not a movie buff. So seeing all Martin Scorsase’s films, in a flash compilation, was amazing. I had no idea he was such a genius.
Watching that short highlight clip of the movies he’s directed and produced, was like watching, well, a living legend.
But today is not about living legends, today is about a legendary man, who had a dream.
A man who is no longer with us.
A man so legendary, that his dream changed the world.
Our son doesn’t have school today. School’s closed, due to a National Holiday. And it ain’t for Mr Scorsase.
How often do you feel like giving up? Like quitting? Like what you do doesn’t matter? That the effort is too much, the payoff too little?
Received an email today. Compelled to share it. And it wasn’t from a blog conversation, but a LinkedIn connection.
We connected, like people do, and I sent a personal message, like I always try to do, mentioning, “I am selling hope, and it’s free.”
He sent back a reply, which was a little confusing, so I asked for clarification. He said:
“I mean it’s about putting it out there. My dad’s quote (and every dad’s?) – You’ll only get out of life what you put in …Keep selling hope – we all need it.”
Did you catch that? What his Dad always told him?
“You’ll only get out of life what you put in.”
