Misinterpret – Page 18 – Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker

John W Jolin is a Churchgoer and Family man

What follows are photos i took with my iPhone while using Google to understand the reputation and character of someone i had just met. In a busy, pressure-filed world, i knew if i didn’t create a post like this (research notes if you will), i’d probably lose the essence from Google’s treasure trove.

No expectation that anyone reads the text in the photos; however, it does paint an interesting picture.

John W Jolin is a Churchgoer and Family man.

Should joy replace sorrow?

Florida tropical landscape — Nature reminds us (if we live tuned-in) that life is fleeting.

Yesterday a friend lost his dad to cancer. The dad was in his 80’s and lived a good life.

Some sorrowful (even regretful) posts surfaced on Facebook. This led to hours of personal reflection on, “why is death earmarked for sadness, loss, and pain”?

i mean, why are those things common when the person is 70, 80, even 90+?

In all those decades, haven’t mountains of good memories accumulated?

i can’t help but wonder why we don’t embrace death as the beginning of something else, and, as the final scene in a wonderful movie.

~~Should~~ Can joy replace sorrow?

It’s easy to forget that Disney is run by normal human beings

Disney Epcot hidden Mickey — A favorite hidden Mickey after lunch yesterday.

It’s easy to forget that normal human beings run Disney. The type of human beings found everywhere. Human beings who like to work hard and play hard. Try to find an organization where this isn’t true. Disney is no different.

Walt said that what we do is very serious business, but we should never take ourselves too seriously.

Business executives who admire Disney and wish to create their own brand of consumer Magic can find hope in the fact that it’s not the Magic that makes it work, it’s the hard work that makes it Magic.

Disney over manages details others either under manage or ignore completely.

The drum lessons of life

Small midwestern home — Last week in Valparaiso, walking to an interview. Drum lesson sign lower left.

Father Ennis has four more Sundays and then he retires.

Fifty years of official service.

Wow. Just wow.

My Dad was a drummer for roughly 50 years.

Both men, devoted to their passion.

Will we be devoted to anything for five decades?
