Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis said "One man can make a difference and every man should try." I agree! Every man and woman on earth can make a difference. I also think we all do in our own way. There are things you've done that have made someone's life better. Maybe it was something as simple as saying hello to a neighbor. You put them in a slightly better mood and that had a ripple effect on their whole day and the day of everyone they encountered. Imagine if you were rude to them instead and they passed on the negativity to others. That can happen too. I've witnessed that in my life. When someone is angry with their job and they lash out at me, it makes it hard to be happy and nice to the next person in my path. When that happens, shake it off and move on!

Maya Rudolph said "I like comedy as a group sport." Funny, but that's a good way to look at what she did on Saturday Night Live. It was not one person telling jokes, it was an ensemble cast that worked together to create humorous situations that brought laughter, hopefully. There have been seasons of SNL that were amazingly funny. There have also been seasons that have often come up short on laughs. Sometimes it's the writers, other times it's the cast, sometimes maybe a little bit of both. It seems that their success has been steadily going up and down over the last fifty years, but imagine how hard it would have been to be on top the whole time. To make every skit funny and to have every guest host knock it out of the park! I think they've done well.

Dame Helen Mirren said "Rejection is just a landing pad for your next takeoff." Excellent quote. I talked to a young lady who was just starting a career in sales. I let know that I've been in media sales since the mid 1990s. She asked if I get rejected often. I said “pretty much every day I'm asking for business, I get more people who say no than yes” She asked me “How do you handle that rejection?” I jokingly said, I'm married, I'm used to rejection! But in reality, I told her that it's all just part of the process. When you're helping people grow their business, some people are more ready for help than others. Sometimes it's a timing issue, other times it's a personality issue, I know, how could anyone not like ME? Trust me, I've met them. They just don't like me!

Walter Payton said "When you're good at something, you'll tell everyone. When you're great at something, they'll tell you." Oh, I love that! I've worked with people who have bloated egos. That's OK, it's actually not unusual in radio or as a comedian. There's something to be said about believing in yourself, but sometimes I meet people who might believe their sizzle reel a little too much. When I do an event, I love to size things up in my mind to see what I could have done better. I like to make mental notes to adjust this or that to make it all better the next time. I've worked with people who think they're perfect now. NOPE, That's probably not true. You always need to think about ways to grow to be even better. I feel like I'm always a work in progress, still growing!

Amelia Earhart said "Never interrupt someone doing something you said couldn't be done." What a great quote. I worked with a guy who was the ultimate glass half empty guy! No matter what idea I had, he wanted to shoot it down. He had excuses that canceled out other excuses. It was never anything expensive. My ideas were almost always free, or at the very least, very inexpensive and I'd walk in with a plan to cover the cost of the promotion. I was so excited when we got a new manager who let me do these things. We saw an explosion of growth in our sales department because we no longer had the gate keeper stopping us from doing the things we wanted to do. The new manager told me, as long as I don't need to ask corporate for money, just do it!
