Everyone Is The Hero Of Their…

When former Saturday Night Live cast-member Mike Myers was promoting his original Austin Powers movie, he did an interview with Parade magazine.

The reporter asked him why his Dr. Evil character was still so lovable.

He said that his mother – who was very active in the theater – told him:

“Remember: the villain is always the hero of their own story.”

I’ve altered the quote slightly to make it more universal.

A Good Plan, Violently Executed Now, Is Better Than…

by Chris Allen

I know the word “violently” is off-putting to some, so feel free to substitute “passionately,” “aggressively,” or even “haphazardly” in your mind instead.

A similar quote you might like is, “Imperfect action is better than perfect inaction.”

I still prefer General Patton’s, though, because I never see myself as being in a state of inaction.

I can easily convince myself that all my mental plotting and planning is actually taking action, when it’s really not.

But I can never convince myself that all the gears turning in my head are anything close to actually “executing a plan,” so General Patton gets my butt in gear — in keeping with his well-deserved reputation.

Some sports have you pitted against an opponent.

In others, it seems you’re really just trying to beat your “personal best.”

For most people, I think life is a personal best type of sport.

You Never Know What People Are…

When I was in college, I was fortunate enough to work a semester at Walt Disney World.

It was great!

A few hundred students from around the country would come in and work for three months, while also taking classes to learn about a different aspect of the operation.

At our final orientation, the lady giving the class said, “Disney World is known as the happiest place on Earth, and you’re going to see so many people having the time of their lives.”

“But the truth is, too, that in surveys conducted in virtually every country around the world, this is the number one place that people say they would like to see before they die.”

“You will see a lot of people in wheelchairs and with obvious medical needs.”

“But many people want to come here while they are still well enough to enjoy the park fully. They may not show any outward signs of illness or disability yet.”

“When you see a guest in a wheelchair or with a disability, we want you to be as helpful to them and make their experience as pleasant as you possibly can.”

“But we expect you to give the exact same level of treatment and care to every guest you encounter.”

“Because the truth is… you never know what people are going through.”

That little talk has remained with me from that day forward.

What profound advice.
