Get Your Week Started Right: Quote of the Day 02/28/10

I feel that there are two types of people out there. Those who look at the future and immediately feel a rush of anxiety and panic at what the unknown will hold for them, and those who embrace what the future will hold and cant wait to move forward and experience that. I can say that at one point a few years back I might have been person number one. However, even in recent difficult times, I have become person number two. I have no idea what tomorrow will hold, but I am excited for it. Who will I meet, what networking opportunity will present itself, what contact made a few weeks back will decide to email me tomorrow? These, and many more questions, are what I look forward to answering each time I think about the future. In honor of this out-look, I have a quote by Abraham Lincoln:

“The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time.”-Abraham Lincoln.

Look forward to tomorrow, take it how it comes, and learn from it and shape it into what you want.

Get Your Week Started Right: Its All About Passion

This past Friday I had the amazing opportunity to work with some innovative professionals who provide an interesting and unique eating and drinking experience that isn't being done anywhere else in Atlanta (Dinner Party Atlanta). Having the chance to work along side people who are dedicated to their service and passionate about it was refreshing and contagious. You couldn't help but to get just as excited as they were about what was going on and I really enjoyed it. It made me realize how important it is to find your passion in life and to truly enjoy what you do. When you love what you do, you have the capability to capture the attention of your customers and they return what you put out. This week, think about what you love to do, what you are truly passionate about, and find a way to make it your career. It just might be the most gratifying thing you can do.

“When work, commitment, and pleasure all become one and you reach that deep well where passion lives, nothing is impossible.” - anonymous

Quote of the Day Sunday, January 31st: Get Your Week Started Right

The following quote couldnt be any better for the personal experience that I had today. While sitting in my local coffee shop getting some work done I happened to strike up conversation with a gentleman sitting next to me. Long story short, this gentleman happened to be the director of sales and marketing for a hotel in Midtown and after exchanging information I had earned a great new contact in the industry. You never know when an opportunity is going to present itself. So, like many of my other posts suggest...be prepared. This upcoming week put your self out there more so than usual and open your self up so opportunities can present themselves to you. Have a great week.


"One secret of success in life is for a man to be
ready for his opportunity when it comes."
-Benjamin Disraeli

Quote of the Day: Start Your Week Right

Just a quick quote for the day to get your mind in the right direction to start the week...a good quote always gets me thinking and can be pretty inspirational. Give it some thought.

"We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act."

Swami Vivekananda

Quote Of The Day: January 10th, 2010

There is nothing which has yet been contrived by man, by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern.

What a great way to kick off this blog, and a great way to get this regular feature going; with a quote from Frank Sinatra. Probably the original bad ass......and one of the coolest gentleman to ever do his thing.

"I feel sorry for people who dont drink. When they wake up in the morning, thats as good as they're going to feel all day". - Frank Sinatra

"I am not one of those complicated mixed up cats. I am not looking for the secret to life...I just go on from day to day, taking what comes".- Frank Sinatra
