Wise words? #LetsBlogOff

Think think think

Honestly – no single bit of wise words comes to mind as the “best advice I ever received”. The first one that stands out is this one:

Your persistance will take you a long way.

It was from an engineer I was working with. He was burned out, working in a company that had transformed from entrepreneurial (people are empowered to do their job as best as they see fit) to corporate (justify your existence in the company or perish).

Another stand out:

Never let anyone tell you you can’t do it.

That one’s on a sign outside of Larry’s Beans here in Raleigh. They’re a fair trade coffee company that treat the earth and people with respect.

Lastly, from a documentary on Elvis, there’s this one:

Make it yours. Make it real. Make it pop.

No idea what movie it was.  I think the person who said it was his producer.

  1. I particularly like the last one – make it real and make it pop – sounds like good advice to me!

    Thanks!

  2. And with Elvis, the rest, as they say, is history! Fun post, Becky! Love all of these “pops” of wisdom #LetsBlogOff is bringing my way today!

  3. I like the first one. The world does not go to the meek, the strong or the patient. It eventually goes to the most tenacious.

    Tenacity is underrated.
