Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Do you enjoy quotes? Most people do. What is it about quotes that draws us to them? For me, it’s the ability to summarize something profound in a small sound bite. It’s the simplicity that does it. What does it for you?
Here’s one of my favorites:
“It doesn’t matter what I say and do, it only matters what you say and do.”
Any guesses on who said that?
Walt Disney died 44 years ago. Do you think he’d blog if he were still alive?
“Somehow I can’t believe there are any heights that can’t be scaled by a man who knows the secret of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C’s. They are Curiosity, Confidence, Courage and Constancy and the greatest of these is Confidence. When you believe a thing, believe it all the way, implicitly and unquestioningly” -Walt Disney
You are unique, just like everyone else.
Most people privately think they are special in some way.
And the rest of the world is challenged to believe this, because unless you are the tallest human, the fastest, the strongest, the smartest, the longest hair, the oldest – it’s really challenging for others to readily see your uniqueness.
But each of us is unique. Every single one of us. We have something that only we bring to the party.
“You are unique, and if that is not fulfilled, then something has been lost.” — Martha Graham
“The interesting thing about greed is that although the underlying motive is to seek satisfaction, even after obtaining the object of one’s desire, one is still not satisfied, it becomes limitless or boundless and that leads to trouble. On the other hand, if one has a strong sense of contentment, it doesn’t matter whether one obtains the object or not; either way, one is still content.” — Dalai Lama
“It is no simple matter to pause in the midst of one’s maturity, when life is full of function, to examine what are the principles which control that functioning.” — Pearl S. Buck (1892-1973)
We reap what we sow.
Blinding flash of the obvious, eh?
