blogs exist plenty room
I think there's plenty of room for blogs that exist to pay the blogger, or blogs that exist to turn a profit. That's just not the kind of blog I'm writing, and I'm not the kind of blogger that could do that.
ordinary firsts becoming
The first step toward becoming extraordinary is, of course, to stop being ordinary.
leadership art ideas
Leadership is the art of giving people a platform for spreading ideas that work.
positivity long strategy
Fitting in is a short-term strategy that gets you nowhere. Standing out is a long-term strategy that takes guts and produces results.
years bread firsts
Now, before sliced bread was invented in the 1910's, I wonder what they said? Like, the greatest invention since the telegraph or something? But the thing about the invention of sliced bread is this - that for the first 15 years after sliced bread was available, no one bought it, no one knew about it. It was a complete and total failure.
dream long sticks
Part of leadership (a big part of it actually) is the ability to stick with the dream for a long time.
successful caring winning
Forgive yourself for not being the richest, the thinnest, the tallest, the one with the best hair. Forgive yourself for not being the most successful, the cutest or the one with the fastest time. Forgive yourself for not winning every round. Forgive yourself for being afraid. But don’t let yourself off the hook, never forgive yourself, for not caring or not trying.
ideas patents bread
And the reason is that until Wonder came along and figured out how to spread the idea of sliced bread, no one wanted it. That the success of sliced bread is not always about what the patent is like or what the factory is like, it's about can you get your idea to spread or not?
mistake sweat decision
Go ahead and act as if your decisions are temporary. Because they are. Be bold, make mistakes, learn a lesson, and fix what doesn't work. No sweat, no need to hyperventilate.
motivational running opportunity
The people who are good in the long run fail a lot, especially at the beginning. So, when you fail early, it might be worth realizing that this is part of the deal, the price you pay for being good in the long run. Every rejection is a gift. A chance to learn and to do it better next time. An opportunity to figure out how to bounce, not break. Don't waste them.
running coffee winning
And it doesn't matter to me whether you're running a coffee shop or you're an intellectual or you're in business or flying hot air balloons. People who can spread ideas, regardless of what those ideas are, win. But consumers, they got way more choices than they used to and way less time.
peace jobs passion
Transferring your passion to your job is far easier than finding a job that happens to match your passion.
inspirational running goal
Life is like skiing. Just like skiing, the goal is not to get to the bottom of the hill. It's to have a bunch of good runs before the sun sets.
status-quo
Either you defend the status quo, or you invent the future.
