  2. Resiliency “This child will not be the tallest, nor the strongest, nor the most fair…but this child will have the most precious gift of all. This child will have the gift of resiliency. Regardless of what happens, this child will always try again. After every failure, no matter how many, no matter how broken the heart, this child will rise again.” - Dr. Micheal Johnson “Cowboys and Angels”

  4. DRAG TO LEARN…?(INTERVIEWS / JOB APPLICANTS / OBSERVATIONS) APPEARANCE (one chance to make a first impression) LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATION (written and verbal) PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY (you are responsible for your success) TEAMWORK (willing to work with others and compromise when needed) WILLINGNESS TO LEARN AND GROW (willingness to get better… not satisfied with you lot in life) HAPPINESS (self-determined, your choice)

  5. Appearance

  6. Looks are Deceiving...?

  7. Language and Communication The decoration on a cake for a friend named Suzanne: “Best Wishes Suzanne. Under Neat That, We Will Miss You” The conversation when ordering the cake went: Employee: Hello ‘dis Wal-Mart, how can I help you? Customer: I would like to order a cake for a going away party this week. Employee: What do you want on the cake? Customer: “Best wishes Suzanne” and underneath that “We will miss you.”

  8. Personal Responsibility Success or Failure… It is your choice…No Excuses! “Life Ain’t Fair…So What?” “The world doesn’t owe you a living, much less prosperity. The United States of America only guarantees Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Happiness is not a constitutional right; you only have the right to be allowed to allowed to go for it…. When I talk about losers, whiners, wimps, and crybabies, I’m describing people who justify failure by blaming external forces in their lives. I am talking directly about and directly to those people who believe they have the right to give up and lay down because they think life isn’t fair…. One thing prosperous people have in common is they’ve taken charge of their lives. No Excuses!” Jim Ziegler, Ziegler SuperSystems, Inc. Winning is not success, nor is losing failure-- “Tip: Realize that success isn’t about “fair”, success is about you coming up with clear goals, developing a plan and figuring out how to pull it off anyway.” Joe Verde, Joe Verde Group

  16. “COASY”Work Ethics / Employment Skills COME TO WORK TO WORK (Focus, Time = $, Preparation) ON TIME TO WORK (“15 minutes early, your are still 15 minutes late” Coach Vince Lombardi Green Bay Packers) ATTITUDE (Attitude determines Altitude) STAY UNTIL THE JOB IS COMPLETE (Complete means accurate and complete: doing the right job, right. “Why Is there never enough time to do the job right, and there is always time to do it over.”) YOU REPRESENT YOUR EMPLOYER 24/7 (People make decisions about others based upon your performance / behavior)

  17. Get There With Math What makes 100%? What makes up 100% in Life? Here’s a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions. If: the alphabet is assigned numerical values: A=1 B=2 C=3 D=4 E=5 F=6 G=7 H=8 I=9 J=10 K=11 L=12 M=13 N=14 0=15 P=16 Q=17 R=18 S=19 T=20 U=21 V=22 W=23 X=24 Y=25 Z=26 Then: H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11= 98% And: K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5= 96% But: A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5= 100% - Chris Foot of Richmond Hill

  18. Mental Demands: Pressure and Reaction vs. Acting “Let’s all start to recognize our emotions and attitudes and try to figure out which ones are harmful to us and interfering with our “wins.” Next, get focused on exactly what you want out of life. I want you to manage and control what your little voices are saying to you and start living the life you’ve always wanted for yourself.” Dr. James Will, “The Power of Self-Talk Toolkit” “It’s always been true that “your attitude controls your success” and the winners have those exceptional positive attitudes on their side. Winners expect to win and because they do, they see the opportunities that the losing side trips over.” Joe Verde, The Joe Verde Group

  19. “FEAR” False Evidence Appearing Real - Lynn A. Thomas, Auto Sales Pro Inc.

  21. What Do You Think? “Tell me who you are with and I will tell you who you are.” -Mario Mendoza “It is not what you don’t have, it’s what you do with what you do have.” -John Shields “You have choices to make in life and with those choices are consequences. Those consequences are yours to bear.” - Oscar Johnson “Anger is a result of hurt, fear or frustration.” - Ed Siel “The most unfair condition is to treat everyone the same” -AJ Knickerbocker “At any given moment we are doing the best we can” -AJ Knickerbocker “The aim of an argument or discussion should not be victory, but progress” - Ed Siel “I do not have to be happy all the time. I have to be a complete person” -Grant Cardone “We are all faced with a series of great opportunities disguised as impossible situations.” -Charles Swindell “There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life– happiness, freedom and peace of mind– are always attained by giving them to someone else. - -General Peyton C. March
