The Story of Never Give Up!

While sitting and watching a nature show with my children, there was a scene of a baby Water Buffalo being caught by five lions. They had trapped it on the bank of a river and were attempting to pull it out for the final death grip. While the buffalo was struggling to get away from the lions a crocodile came from behind and grabbed it on its hind leg. The crocodile was biting down with a pressure of 2,500 pounds per square Inch and pulling it into the water and the lions where biting down with about 4-500 pounds per square inch each. They were pulling back and forth on the Water Buffalo. This tug of war ended with the lions pulling the calf out of the crock’s mouth onto the dry land.

But, the story does not end there. All of a sudden, there is a large black mass of muscle moving toward the lions. It was the other Water Buffalo coming back to save the calf. As the calf struggled to get away one of the lions was chased off by one of the buffalos, another was thrown into the air by another and the remaining lions no longer were thinking about their potential meal, but how to survive.

The story ends with the calf getting a way and surviving the attacks of 5 lions and a crocodile. The lesson I told my children to take away from that scene was “No matter how bad a situation may look, as long as you have breath in you,  never give up hope!

It is better to Stand and Fall than to Sit and only Dream!

It is better to stand and fall than to sit and only dream!
Many people would have accomplished much more in life if they had only stood up! This simple process of moving the lower half of our body gives us a change of perspective. A change of perspective gives us new ways of seeing and finding solutions to our challenges. If you never stand up and risk failure you will never get a different view of what is facing you.

Similarly a person who chooses to lie down in the face of danger will always be smaller than the challenge facing them. The simple solution is to change your belief about failure and work from your beliefs of success and not the feedback of others. Those who have never failed and anything has never tried anything. There is truth in the saying “No risk no gains.”

The problem with only dreaming is it can cause you to dream your entire life away and get absolutely nothing done. Dreaming can be a place of comfort and safety that causes procrastination. This line of think and behaving is one of “You can’t fail if you don’t try.” The reality is that you have already failed. Only dreaming is like filling a plate of your favorite food and never eating. You will starve to death! Failure is something you may do not who you are. Failures should be viewed as street signs pointing us in the direction of our goals and desires.

Therefore as you travel the road of life going from point to point expect to see street signs. Ignoring the signs will cause you to get lost and possibly never reaching your destination.

Never confuse AVAILABILITY with ABILITY

Never confuse AVAILABILITY with ABILITY. Being available to do something does not mean they are able to do it! Choose your help wisely or suffer the headaches.

It is common practice to place or hire someone into a position because you are in urgent need of help. Choosing the wrong person can cause you to spend more time, money, and energy than if you would have waited and chosen the right person.

You see it in managers who have no idea what managing means and in customer service reps that provide absolutely no customer services.

Choosing the wrong person for a task is the same as choosing a hammer to tighten a loose screw.

Do you already have the wrong person, and they have a desire to be the right person? Be prepared to spend time and money on proper training and follow up work until they are performing at the level you desire. If you are not getting MEASURABLE results in a REASONABLE amount of time, then it may be time to replace them. Remember everyone is not cutout to do what you need done.
