Jerry Garcia said "You do not merely want to be considered just the best of the best. You want to be considered the only ones who do what you do." What a great quote! Jerry is from the band The Grateful Dead. They marched to the beat of their own drum. I read a very cool book called “Marketing Lessons from the Grateful Dead: What Every Business Can Learn from the Most Iconic Band in History by David Meerman Scott”. In this book from 2010, they talk about many things this band did that made them unique. They allowed people to record the music at each concert, but they asked them to sit in a special section called the TAPERS section, to get better sound. Then they allowed these people to sell tapes or trade tapes at their shows. This was a very unique thing!

Roger Federer said "Negative energy is wasted energy. You want to become a master at overcoming hard moments. That is, to me, the sign of a champion." I love that. I watched a video on Facebook, or TikTok or YouTube, or some other place that feeds me videos to take up any spare time I have. This video was actually pretty good. There was an actor named Aston Sanders, speaking to Denzel Washington at a red carpet event. He said “I might be doing a movie with you soon” as he kind of spoke that into being. Denzel said “I'll see you at work” and the two did do a movie together shortly after that visit. The Equalizer 2 in 2018. Think big, expect big things, and do big things! Does than automatically mean you'll do it? No, but it will give you better odds for sure!

Ralph Bunche said "The well-being and the hopes of the peoples of the world can never be served until peace—as well as freedom, honor, and self-respect—is secure." Wow, what a lofty goal! World peace! I'm all for that, but the realist in me says that may never happen. What makes me think that? I've peeked at the news over my last fifty years or so. We kind of have a bit of a problem with one another. We all feel like this world would be a pretty cool place if it weren't for all those other people dragging it down! I'm kidding of course, but if you watch the news at ALL, you'll agree a little. We seem to be stuck in fight mode. Even when things are going well, things are still not going very well. I'd love to see it change, but I'm not expecting it. Let's all do our part!

Andy Warhol said "You need to let the little things that would ordinarily bore you suddenly thrill you." I love this. Sometimes this can be hard too. If you're not excited about the silly little details of your job, find a way to make those things a little bit more exciting to you. I used to be a wedding DJ and the fun part was the actual wedding dance, but the set up and tear down were things I had to do each time, so I made up a little song that I'd sing when I was plugging things in and setting things up. It made it a little less monotonous. It was absolutely a silly little song, but it somehow made me smile and it made the setup time go by faster. If you have to do something on a regular basis, that doesn't thrill you, find a way to make that thing a little bit more fun to you!

Toni Morrison, from "God Help the Child" said "Correct what you can; learn from what you can’t." I love this. There are many things in life I can't change, so I have to learn to live with these things, but there are some things I can actually change and I love it when I get the chance to make a positive change for my company or my community. Some people complain about things, I do my very best to step up to help make those things better. Sometimes that is 100% welcomed, but there are times when I feel like I'm pushing my way into the party. I'm not a fan of that feeling, so those are the times I let them do their thing until their thing goes away, then I do my own thing to replace their thing, instead of taking the failing reigns, we just get on a whole different horse!
