Babe Ruth Was Not Afraid To Strike

You Have To Write A Book Because You Believe It Has Helped You, Because You Believe It Has Helped Others Personally And You Are Dying To Share With It Others Because You Know It Will Add Value To Their Lives. You Write It For Them Like A Gift. You Don't Want Anything From Them. You Don't Want Them To Do Anything For You. You Don't Even Care If They All Share The Book With Their Friends, They Don't All Have To Buy Them. You're Just Dying To Share This Idea With People. Your Challenge Is To Write It In A Way That Is Compelling, Enjoyable To Read So That They Will Get The Idea.

There's Only One Why. You Only Have One Why, And Your Why Is Fully Formed By The Time You're 17, 18 Or 19years Old, Maybe Even Earlier. The Rest Of Your Life Are Simply Opportunities To Either Live In Or Out Of Balance And The Career Choices We Make And The Decisions We Make In Our Lives Either Put Us In Balance With Our Why, Which Makes Us Happy, Fulfilled And Inspired. Or It Puts Us Out Of Our Why, Which Makes Us Frustrated, Stressed Out And Sometimes We Fail.

The Reason We Grow Up To Be Healthy Adults Is Because Our Parents Played This Game Of Giving Us Responsibility, Disciplining Us When Necessary, Letting Us Try, Letting Us Fail. No Matter What We Know They Are There To Support Us And See Us Do Well. Leaders Are Exactly The Same.

My Concern Is That We Live In An Economy In Which Stabbing Someone And Waiting For Them To Complain Before We Remove The Knife Has Become The Normal Way Of Doing Business. When Did We Lose Sight Of The Fact That It's Not Nice To Stab People In The First Place?
