“When nothing seems to help, I go look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.” - Jacob Riis
II. SELF ON SHELF
• There is not enough room on the field for teammates and an ego
• Be a servant warrior .. Champions are servants, championships are forged in hard work and humility.
• Be a Thumb Pointer
III. SUDDEN CHANGE
• Attitude, to me, is more important than facts.
• It is more important than: the past, education, money, circumstances, failures, successes, what other people think, say and do.
• It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill.
• It will make or break a company… a church… a home… a life.
• The remarkable thing about attitude is that is we have a choice everyday regarding what attitude we will embrace for that day.
• We cannot change the past--- we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way and we cannot change the inevitable….The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.
“Life is 10% what happens and 90% how we respond..” - Chuck Swindoll
IV. IRON SHARPENS IRON
• The greatest drug in the world is ACCEPTANCE.
• Do you belong to a group with standards or an absence of standards?
• What is my purpose?
• Rudyard Kipling, “The strength of the wolf is the pack and the strength of the pack is the wolf”
• Learn to have the courage to say no.
• What behaviors will you tolerate?
• The strongest weapon is forged in the hottest fire
• ACCOUNTABILITY
• INTEGRITY TRUMPS LOYALTY
