How Can You Tell? – Page 7 – Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker

Clever, but why?

Public restroom — Beautiful wallpaper in the Men’s public restroom at the Garden Theater. Good show, as we say at Disney.

public restroom vandalism — Clever, but why? Poor habits?

When your clock sounds the wake-up sound, what do you do?

Your answer reveals much.

Wishing you the best to maintain a great habit or to remedy the underlying cause of a poor habit.

Break the Internet?

Orlando Diocese Men's Rise Up conference — There are very few overnight successes.

Word for word, copied and pasted from yesterday’s Seth Godin blog post.

~~Change, real change, is the result of focused persistence.~~

~~It’s easy to get a bunch of people sort of excited for a little while.~~

~~The challenging part~~, ~~and the reason that change doesn’t happen as often as it should is that we get distracted. Today’s urgent is more urgent than yesterday’s important.~~

The concept of breaking news and the crisis of the day proves my point. If the world ended every time Wolf Blitzer implied it would, we would have been toast a long time ago. The organizations that actually change things are the ones that have a time horizon that’s longer than 36 hours.

There are very few overnight successes. Very few entrepreneurs, freelancers, non-profits, candidates, spiritual leaders, activists or people in a successful relationship that got there with thunder and lighting. It happens with a drip.

PS this post is intentionally disfigured in honor of Break the Internet. I’m annoyed that we have to continually fight this fight, but it just proves my point. Drip by drip.

Keep showing up. If it matters, keep showing up.

(Ok, this is the end of Seth’s post. Below the page break, my post.)

Ok, here’s my contribution to jeffnoel.org today…

The long way is the short cut.

Stop looking for quick fixes or to hire someone to do your most important work.

Walt Disney and Steve Jobs did not appoint someone to create their legendary organizational culture.

You get where this just went, right?

We’re weak, greedy, self-centered, egotistical, and a few other unflattering things

It occurs to me, from observation mostly, that some people are against “religion” not because of spirituality, but because the people who belong to a said religion are so flawed.

This is a really important point.

Humans are flawed.

We’re weak, greedy, self-centered, egotistical, and a few other unflattering things.

“Religion” is the vision of what we’re to aim for.

It may be unattainable.

Many religious people may not even be close.

i never want them to be my reason for having an argument against spirituality.

It becomes crystal clear decades later

neighborhood reunion — Last night in my childhood home. Neighbors two doors down, where all my formative summers were spent.

The value of lifelong relationships isn’t fully realized until decades later.

Then it becomes crystal clear.

Clueless of our own

Disney water fountains — Each morning they look like new. Each evening they look 10 years old.

So easy to see the giant plank in another’s eye, yet be clueless of our own giant plank.
