Al Pacino and Developing a Positive Mental Attitude
Dean Hunt made a great / fun post at StreetLessons.com - Steve Jobs vs Al Pacino - The Battle of Inspiration which alerted me to the following video.
Can’t really explain why - but something about reminds me of Monday Morning sales meetings in my early days as a young / rookie Double Glazing salesman. I was fortunate enough to have a sales manager (Keith Revel) who seemed to have this remarkable ability to get us to reach deep down inside ourselves and find some latent talent that we never knew we had - which allowed us to better and better our sales results every week.
Thank You Keith - Thank you Al Pacino
I just love this amazing quote from Al Pacino / Tony D’Amato:
You find out life’s this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game - life or football - the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don’t quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don’t quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They’re in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when add up all those inches, that’s gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!
