“Why NOT me?” (on changes, losses, endings and …BEGINNINGS!) Maria “Montana” Palacios-Hardes
One contemporary sage said it best: The only thing constant about life is change. Changes Losses Endings & BEGINNINGS! • After the unexpected has happened, there is always someone who knew it would. Author Unknown
Don’t Be Afraid to Fail • You’ve failed many times, although you don’t remember. • You fell down the first time you tried to walk.. • You almost drowned the first time you tried to swim. • Did you hit the ball the first time you swung the bat? • Heavy hitters, the ones who hit the most home runs also strike out a lot. • R.H. Macy failed 7 times before his store in New York caught on. • Novelist John Creasy got 753 rejection slips before he published 564 books. • Babe Ruth hit 714 home runs, but he struck out 1330 times. “WORRY INSTEAD ABOUT THE CHANGES YOU MISS WHEN YOU DON’T EVEN TRY”
Changes… • To do is to be. Socrates • To be is to do. Plato • DoBeDoBeDo Sinatra
60 Reasons to resist change 1-Our problem is different 7- Our present method is time tested and reliable 31- It is not in the budget 46- I had the same idea 10 years ago 47- We’ve done alright without it 60- Let’s wait until it’s mandated by the State
thought • Change is inevitable… • …except… …from a vending machine!
thought • Accept that some days you are the pigeon, and some days you are the statue. Roger C. Anderson

Come to the edge, he said: We will fall, they said. • Come to the edge: We are afraid • Come to the edge: They came. • He pushed: They flew. “Guillaume Apalinaire” 1870-1918
…and now… …go out and do what you do best… I love you, MONTANA! See you soon… …on the road again…
