Wise Words Wednesdays: Jairek Robbins

I saw this TEDx talk by Jairek Robbins earlier this week and posted to my personal Facebook page, but in case you didn't see it, this talk is absolutely worth your time to watch.


Takeaway quotes:

• "It's not the boulder (that kills people).  It's the pebbles.  The boulder is the big opportunity to show yourself what you're capable of.  The pebble is that moment halfway through a hard job when you start thinking stuff like, "I'm better than this"... and you start to tear down the opportunity in front of you instead of learning about leadership."
• "Leadership says, "It's not, 'You live in my kingdom therefore I'm in charge of you.'"  Leadership says, "You live in my kingdom therefor I serve you."
• "Learn to fall in love with hard work."
• "Find purpose and meaning in all things that you do!  Especially the simple things."
• "You are not promised anything beyond THIS MOMENT!"
• "Live life on YOUR terms!  Learn it.  Live it.  Give it."

Expect Greatness.
