Gimme my theme music…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *WH* The Warm-Up: “Your expectation should coincide with your work ethic. You cant expect anything that you’re not willing to sacrifice & work for. Oftentimes expectations aint reality but if u want to achieve you’ve got to Believe it’s possible.” ~Coach Prime The Core: “Relationships are the foundation of accomplishment.” ~Simon Sinek “Incentives are like magnets. An invisible but powerful pull.” ~ Andrew Wilkinson “Agent Rich Paul, he’s done nearly $900M in player salary negations this offseason.” ~@ShamsCharania “All I was thinking was Brady mode.” ~Shedeur Sanders, on his 98-yard game-tying drive to force OT “[Travis] Kelce finds the blank space for the score!” ~Ian Eagle referencing Taylor Swift on the Kelce TD call “God, Please remove anybody lying to me, using me or speaking badly behind my back but pretending to love me in my face.” ~@unkonfined “Slow down. Appreciate your current season – what you have overcome, how you have grown, and the people who have been a blessing on your journey.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “…9. Social media is a drug. 10. Prioritize spending time with people who make you better. 11. Call your parents more often. 12. Focus on creating value, not making money…” ~Sahil Bloom “Every single person who earned themselves a comfortable life was ready, at some point in their lives, to invest in themselves in an uncomfortable manner, work uncomfortably hard, take uncomfortable risks.” ~Orange Book “Trust in divine timing and synchronicity. What’s meant for you will come to you at the right time and it will sync with you, vibe with you, connect with you, be patient with you, make you feel safe, give you clarity, and bring you peace.” ~@MindTendencies “People neglect their health, ignore their family and friends, but want to change the world. Don’t talk big when you cant even act small. You need to stay mentally sharp to make better decisions. You need to be around supportive people to keep going. The road is long, be patient.” ~Orange Book “Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell.” ~William Strunk Jr., The Elements of Style Last Set: “Remember, more important to be paid than have the hype. So, focus on the craft. Get good at what you do. If that translates into hype, cool, but better if it converts into cash.” ~Joe Holder Food For Thought: I was verifying another quote and came across the one below. I first used it in the Mon, Sept 15th, 2014 edition, then again on Mon, Sept 9th, 2019, then on Mon, May 10th, 2021 – how many of you have been reading that long?! Nonetheless, it’s just one of those things that like a good book you’ve read more than once, each time you read it, you’re likely at a different place in your life, and thus, it just hits different… “The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them—words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they’re brought out. But it’s more than that, isn’t it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemy would love to steal away. How fully we live inside our minds, that the person who walks down the street and shakes hands is only an approximation of the self-inside. The personas we inhabit publicly are merely approximations of who we are internally—shrunken, distorted versions of ourselves that we present to the real world. This is because the things that are most important to us, that are really vital to us, are perversely the most difficult to express.” ~Stephen King & Khaled Hosseini Food For Thought II: “The combination of high IQ and low ego is a really powerful one in business. Especially as you’ll get into leadership role, IQ alone will deliver diminishing results. A famous fact about Sundar Pichai is that he was promoted into the CEO role not because he was the smartest person in the room but because without him it was getting very hard to get a group of very smart people to agree on anything. Satya Nadella is known to call up select new hires and just listen without shaping the conversation or telling them what they are doing may or may not be aligned to the company mission. That’s how he gets the real pulse of where the company is headed. When asked about his AI plans, Satya said ‘I want people to know we made Google dance’ -- what a beautiful way to pay respect to the competition while one upping them. I often wish more of our corporate leaders had this sort of old-world class. Highly underrated quality.” ~@MohapatraHemant
