Gardner on Brilliant Opportunities
“We are all faced with a run of fantastic opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems.”
–John W. Gardner (1912–2002)
American reformer and liberal
Sales thought (212 excerpt)…
The weather. The traffic. My boss. My customer. My mother. My father. My sister. My brother.
I don’t have sufficient. But I really need. I can’t. If only [he, she, they] would.
It’s been a tough [day, week, month]. It’s [Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday].
212 approach: Be. Go forward. Conclude to complain.
Your words go others. Your words go you. Make yours send all in the right direction. Complaining once less a day chokes off 365 seeds of negativity a year.
212 commitment: Place a smile in the path of a complaint… once daily.
(or be two-twelve and do it twice daily)
