Effort – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

The thing about everything, mind

The thing about everything is that everything takes longer than you plan.

Noteworthy, there’s an exception to nearly every rule.

Exceptions are rare.

So something you plan to do happening in the time you thought it would take is rare. Even rarer is it happening faster than planned.

Then there’s the paradox of planned time and actual speed.

Let’s say you plan to live 80 years (planned time) but you live your life in 70 (actual speed).

Not easy and not hard, mind

Most stuff in life is not easy.

Most stuff in life is also not hard.

Paradox.

Great news, if you believe it.

Greater news if you use the wisdom.

Photos breathe life

Montreal Westin lobby — In Montreal to deliver a Disney Customer Service Keynote Speech, 2015.

Photos breathe life into almost everything, including blog posts.

This is why i always use them.

Now into the 14th consecutive year writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts, the first few years where just text. No photos.

Why?

Probably didn’t know how to add photos. Or maybe the process was cumbersome. Don’t recall exactly.

Can remember vividly when the WordPress operating system made it easier, i began using photos and have never deviated.

Why?

Because photos help tell a story or make a point better than words, generally.

Don’t be effort-less

Effort drives success more than talent. That’s how i represented, at age 50, the USA in the 2009 Masters Track and Field World Championships in Finland. It’s how i published a book in 2013. It’s why i am currently (2020) the unofficial world record holder for most blog posts by a single author (record is 17,212 posts, i’m closing in on 21,000).
