Are You Thinking About Your Legacy?
One of the things Dad repeated to me often was, “What you do speaks so loudly I can’t hear what you say.” Like so many of his quotes and sayings, it was not original to him. I’ve subsequently seen it attributed to Zig Ziglar as well as at least a dozen philosophers...
Do You Influence By Antagonizing?
The Colonel said, “You can’t antagonize and influence at the same time, kid. One will always undercut the other.” https://vimeo.com/1215298251?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci It is normal and natural to be influenced by people you like, and it is possible to be...
Do You Give Any Thought To How You Impact Others?
Dad often said, “It’s not just about impacting lives. It’s about how you impact them. That’s a choice you have to make every day, kiddo.” https://vimeo.com/1204366324?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci There is an obscure gothic romance novel I once read that told the...
Do You Always Do The Right Thing? Even If No One Would Know?
Dad often said, “Unless you’re on the battlefield, no one is ever going to give you a medal for doing what is right. That doesn’t mean you should stop doing what is right. Every decision has consequences.” https://vimeo.com/1204363763?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci My...
Are You Only Focused On Yourself, Or Do You Take The Time To Show Others How Important They Are?
The Colonel said, “If you focus on being a mirror to someone, showing them how wonderful they are, their mirror will inevitably turn back toward you.” https://vimeo.com/1204361971?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci Some people are drawn naturally to the spotlight. Others...
Do You Speak Before You Think?
The Colonel said, “Activate your brain before you engage your mouth, kid. You will never know who your words are influencing.” I can’t even REMEMBER the first time Dad said that to me; he said it so often. https://vimeo.com/1204356240?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci I...
Why are you waiting for something big to do? Every Action Matters, Even Small Ones.
I’ve not told this story before, so bear with me if it’s a little longer than usual. The Colonel often said, “Every action matters. Like a small pebble makes a ripple, even a very small action can have huge significance.”...
Do You Take Yourself Too Seriously?
The Colonel said, “Don’t take yourself too seriously, kiddo. Truth is, if you take yourself too seriously, no one else will.” https://vimeo.com/1204267905?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci In his time, my father was quite influential in the research and development of...
Do You Consistently See Obstacles or Opportunities?
Ya know those times when you feel like there is a wall or boulder in front of everything you are trying to do? Yeah, me too. https://vimeo.com/1197523726?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci Everyone encounters obstacles in their lives. But, here’s the thing - It’s the...
