“We only have one life to live our life!”

Fred (Mister) Rogers

Translation: Every day is show time. How are you performing? Are you making the most out of each situation? Do you need to improve your skills and/or attitude in certain areas? Each day presents us with a new opportunity to start fresh and achieve better results. But, as Fred Rogers says, we only have one shot to do it right. And that shot is now!

“Organizations don’t execute unless the right people, individually and collectively, focus on the right details at the right time.”

From the book
EXECUTION- The Discipline of Getting Things Done
Larry Bossidy & Ram Charan

Translation: Titan organizations succeed because of their people’s performance and their commitment to excellence..

“Never let the fear of striking out get in your way.”

Babe Ruth

Translation: To get noticed, you need to get on the field and take your swings. It is better to try and fail versus to never try at all. At least you have a chance to succeed by trying. You can’t get noticed if don’t try

“Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value. “

Albert Einstein

Translation: If all you care about is making money, then you will not achieve maximum success. But, if you care more about providing value to people’s lives, then you will achieve a greater amount of success and make more money than you ever thought possible

“After I get done dealing with the committee….”

Allison Janney- NBC’s The West Wing

Translation: During an interview on The Today Show, Allison Janney refers to the voices in her mind as the committee. You know, that committee of voices we must deal with that constantly share their doubts on why we can’t do things, etc. Selling to committees is a big issue in sales these days. I believe before you sell to anyone, you must first influence the committee of voices in your mind of what is truly possible. Once you do this, everything else is ready to fall into place.

“For having more faith in us than we had in ourselves, for being brave when required and rude where appropriate and tender without being trite, for not sleeping and not quitting and not shrinking from the pain all around him”

Time 2001 Person of the Year Intro
Rudy Giuliani
Translation: Titans who provide an everlasting experience for their customers know when it is right to act tough and when it is necessary to be tender. They realize that they can never take their eye off the ball and stop addressing all of their customers needs and wants, regardless of how difficult the task may be.

Nick ( the son) in the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding

“Don’t let the past dictate who you are. Let the past be part of who you become”.

Translation: Your future should be based on what you want it to be, not what it has been. Our past actions are only good enough to achieve what we have already achieved. If we want to achieve bigger and better results, we need to do things differently than we have in the past. Don’t let your past cloud the picture of what you can really achieve. Your past is part of who you are, not what you must always be. Strive to continuously look at things from different angles if you truly want to create a better future for yourself.

Harvey Dorfman, Author: Mental Game of Baseball

“Fear is a sign of intelligence… Whats wrong is fearful behavior”

Harvey Dorfman, consultant to some of baseball’s elite teams and players, tells a story of former Oakland A’s star relief pitcher Dennis Eckersley. “Dennis admitted he was scared silly every time he pitched, afraid of humiliation and failure. But Eck went after them, fear or not. Acting out the right stuff when you’re afraid or have doubts—-that’s heroic.”

Translation: Titans all have their own fears and doubts. They just don’t allow these feelings to stop them. They overcome these feelings and go out and perform. What’s stopping you? In most cases, it’s not the outside world. It’s what goes on in your own mind.

“Let’s Roll”

Todd Beamer, United Flight 93 Passenger

TRANSLATION: As we approach 9/11 and pause to remember the tragic events, these two little words remind all of us that we do have the power to impact most situations we find ourselves in. Seize your power and make sure you are living up to your true potential. It’s time to roll!
