Are NFL QBs the Most Accurate Athletes?

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
Will Smith Wisdom
Focus
“If you want to be a champion, you cannot have any outside negative
influence coming in to affect you. If I get emotionally involved with a
girl, it can have a negative effect on my mind and destroy my workouts.
Therefore I have to cut my emotions off and be cold in a way. Do this
with the rest of things. If someone …steals my car right now, I don’t
care. I can’t be bothered with that. All I can do is call the insurance
agency and they’ll laugh about it. I trained myself for that and not to
let things go into my mind. When my father died, my mother
called me on the phone and said, “Your father died.” This was two
months before a contest. She asked me to come home to the funeral and I
said “No - It’s too late. He is dead and nothing can be done.Sorry I
can’t come home.”

Words of Wisdom by English Poet
Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936)
as true and applicable today in the business and corporate field
as when Kipling wrote them
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good nor talk too wise;
If you can dream and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same.
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it in one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And - which is more - you’ll be a Man my son!

Stomaching the “Recession”
My pal Jeff has generously posted terrific resources to reframe any unresourceful feelings about this current economy. He posted the cool poem IF, that I placed at Positive on Real Estate.
He has a ton of great resources based on his EFT expertise. Go there to find what all that means lol.
The 4 Hour Work Week Fact / Fiction?
Have you read the 4 hour work week? Its one hell of a challenge and somewhat of an indictment on conventional thinking. It makes you ask “are you working to live or living to work?”
A very interesting writer at Wired, Chris Hardwic recently delved into the Tim Ferriss philosophy and two other time management books. He came up long enough for air to pen this interesting take on strategies and tactics to give more life to our work and er…life.
