Wisdom – Page 6 – Disney Employee Engagement Speaker

He doesn’t understand entrepreneurship yet

Disney Leadership Conference Speaker — Near the end of yesterday’s three-miler.

He doesn’t understand entrepreneurship yet. As we relaxed in our Disneyland Hotel room yesterday afternoon, i explained how entrepreneurship allows you to do things on your own terms.

For example, travel and work can go hand in hand. And because of this, much of your travel becomes a business expense and revenue opportunity.

Explained it to him in more detail than here, and for now i just wait for it to sink in as he decides what he wants to do with his life.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

The Internet is still in it’s infancy compared to the USA

The prevailing wisdom of life is this:

There are things you have control over and things you don’t.

Yesterday’s normal “Friday” 8-miler was modified about two miles in. Decided to settle for a two mile run, with another 3.5 miles of walking. Rationalized that Monday’s and Wednesday’s runs were longer than normal and an “easy” day was not only welcomed, but also a smart move.

The definition of “smart move” is completely subjective, and is driven by individual perception.

At Disney in the late 1980’s, Disney’s new Resort VP Bob Small told me, “Perception outweighs facts”.

It would seem that any pixie-dust of the poem, and how the author and her staff live it are skewed by “perception versus reality”.

Pick your poison

MacBook box unopened — Morning summer sun hitting my desk.

Have been giving myself pep talks to get organized to get out the door (to run) much earlier than i have been.

Leaving for a run after the summer sun has risen is not enjoyable. Neither is running in the dark.

Pick your poison as they say.

It’s 6:04am and dark. Time to head out the door.

Here’s an exception for saying, i can’t

Delta mobile app — Today’s post “should have been” from Lyon, France.

Began the comeback for the 2019 Masters Track & Field World Championships two days ago.

Thank you Delta and Allianz travel insurance for refunding my airfare.

Can you recall the last time you were bitter about your circumstances?

What if you couldn’t?

Progress and wisdom are a dynamic duo

Mile split by jeff noel masters track — Hand-timed while running in the meet.

Half-mile split by jeff noel masters track — Carried an iPhone/stopwatch in both races.

Saturday’s track meet had several firsts, including one that is significant:

No soreness and no pain from overdoing it.

Not that evening. Not yesterday. Not now.

This is huge.

Progress.

Wisdom.

PS. For a 56 year old to run a single event with a time like that could create some stiffness. To do both on the same day, almost guaranteed soreness.
