Now That's A Quote

"A person's age can be determined by the degree of pain he experiences when he comes in contact with a new idea."

Quote by Quincy Jones, founder and chairman of Vibe magazine, producer of The Color Purple, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Michael Jackson's Thriller, and the first African-American to hold an executive position at a major record company.

We are reading John Maxwell's "The 17 Essential Characteristics of a Team Player" in staff. The first two chapters are on Adaptability and Collaboration. This quote was lodged into the first chapter...it rocked me!

The above quote challenged me to assess my willingness to change and adapt. You always think you are open to change until you actually have to! Jones mastered the art of adaptability. His credentials testify to this truth. At least that is what I am realizing.

"When Values are clear, decisions are easy." Roy Disney

"We are not trying to entertain the critics. I'll take my chances with the public." Walt Disney

What can I say...I have Disney on the brain. More Disney thoughts later this week.
