We had an amazing time thinking about our five favorite words. And amazing things can happen when you learn that some good questions about what you're reading, what you're thinking, what book you're writing, and what are your favorite words.

So we have some good leading thoughts that can help make you unique and interesting and hopefully very different from everybody else. That's important. When you discover what everybody else is doing, don't do it. Do something else. Do something better. Do something you've never done before or maybe has never been done before!

So here we go with some thoughts about our favorite words and this is the fifth and final favorite word. No tell me what are your favorite words?

And there's much in our world that is a mess on this Monday evening and so we will try and do our best to bring a little peace and quiet and some good thoughts into the end of your day. And my usual greeting of ladies and gentlemen might mean that I have a diminishing audience when you look at the world today, and find those old fashion qualities are just not as prevalent as they used to be,  and as many of us wish they were.

So the vile and ugly F word is often heard in conversation and anger and incivility today.  So with your permission today I'd like to continue talking about my five favorite words. So today we're going to totally condemn the F word and we're gonna talk about the good G word.

So please give me 15 minutes and we will tell you what it is and then it just might be one of the best words to use in the world today in so many situations.  As the title said it can help you a lot.

Thanks Stan

 No of course not you should not be a yes man if you are a woman let's get that straight now. But then you should be a yes woman and I know what you're thinking.  Because no way am I a person who simply says yes to let the people in authority in anyway tell me what to do. That's not me.  I'm a different kind of spirit and a different kind of soul.  But let's let that go for now.

We are talking about favorite words and so today in about 15 minutes maybe less I think I've got some wisdom that will help you in these negative times in terms in the world.  

So let me tell you my third favorite word and I'm gonna ask you to deal with it but then I want you to be smart enough to come up with your own favorite words because that will make you a more interesting person and I may even get you a good job.  

Because the best way to get a good job is not to do the traditional interview it's to have a conversation and ask for an audition and then be prepared to be interesting and creative.  That's what we teach people to do and sometimes to even be and I think we do it well.

You can decide

But whatever blessings on you and have a good weekend.

Yesterday I talked about the word impact.  That's one of my favorite words and there's a reason for that because when I help people do is for ordinary people who often times do more than ordinary things and I wanna help them have an extraordinary impact for good for others and indeed for themselves.  We want to help you make your mark.

But maybe one of the ways that you will be able to have an impact is because somebody has shown you great mercy or perhaps you yourself have been an agent of mercy for someone else.

One of the best things you can do for yourself is to try to understand and love mercy and to enjoy it in all of it mystery and yet to try and figure out how you can share it with others.

These are just some personal reminiscing about how being in the presence of mercy can make you think you are hearing a great and favorite song that stirs your mind moves your spirit and even touches your heart,

 Well it's a busy Tuesday and I've got lots to do so my point of the moment program is only 12 minutes today. But I just happened to come up across this idea and I also found that it is a very helpful exercise for determining how I want people to think about me when I market myself and market my business and seek to be a person of influence and impact.

So let's get started and this will be an interesting week because words matter and they matter a lot and I would love to hear what some of your favorite words are.  

In fact there's a good chance that I'll call some of you up and ask you so why don't you call me first and tell me what yours are.  520-664-7002 and leave a message.

There are a lot of things to make fun of today.  And we can do that, but I'd like to challenge you to not let the malaise and the incompetence all around us cause us to pull back and to take a time off from the challenges and opportunities that are all around us.  Press on!

Don't die just now, don't quit just now, don't let them play taps on you now or something close by to that.  So with your permission on this Monday evening I would like to encourage you to do something new and different and start right now.

Press on!

Life is difficult is what Scott Peck said and when you understand it hopefully it won't make any difference... And often it is our desire to make things different without being different. So that is a bit of a challenge for a thoughtful brave and bold person and I hope that person is you... But often life is picking up the mess, and today I had to do a fix it Friday because I made a mess on turbulent Thursday.

So with your permission, with at least a tough but gentle heart and hoped for energetic spirit, in spite of everything give me 15 minutes to talk about fixing it and perhaps taking the challenge of being truly been different going forward right now starting today!

Just do that!

Stan

 It's good when Grace, God ,and good fortune come together and you have a great experience even in the midst of the mess of life, often times difficulties in business, and for sure the world is in a mess today.

I had the good fortune today to go to a Rotary meeting here in North Carolina and it was great. The people running the meeting know what they're doing and they do it well and the guest speaker was a wonderful woman who actually grew up in the community and was what is called a ACE child ... And contrary to what you might expect that is not a good thing, so listen to the program and find out what ACE means.

Like you I've had more than my share of boring meetings but this was truly an inspiring touch your heart presentation by a young African-American woman who came from a difficult situation, and is now an incredible leader not only in her community, but serving an inspiring role in the state of North Carolina.

And I was like a lot of the people in the audience, we just couldn't help but smile almost the whole time.

And in concluding her great presentation she gave thanks to the plan of God and to all of the people, and in particular to my friend, who had been with others such an influence in helping her become a significant person of influence.

And afterward I walked up to her and said the world needs to hear your story and you need to have a bigger audience.  

And so please listen to that story today and then perhaps you know of someone who needs a bigger audience, and maybe that someone is you

Well here we go with the Tuesday show and hopefully it will not be Tuesday trivial. But I just finished reading the book of memoirs that he did not write but was Paul Newman's memoirs. How do you think he was able to do that.,,, and it was interesting that one of the great legendary movie stars of the past imes had as the subtitle an extraordinary life by an ordinary man.  

 And there was some deep meaning in the description and when you read the stories you can get a sample of both the extraordinary times and opportunities and in some cases how this comes to really very ordinary people, like Paul Newman,

So if you give me 20 minutes of some very interesting storytelling I'll tell you a little bit about that and you can learn some lessons if you want or wish but then with your permission may I actually challenge you to do this... 

In spite of all the false hope in the latest News and so-called information about a mortality that will not be possible as far as we can see. But we'll see what they have in mind but may I remind you that there are ways that you can actually at least have a touch of a imortality in the voice of stories of wisdom insight and truth that you were able to share with others all around the world right now and maybe who knows forever.  Let me challenge you with some interesting ideas

 Welcome to a Monday evening after a busy weekend and you are probably a little bit tired and the news is full of the mess we're in.  Why are the people who are in charge of things and are responsible for trying to make things better so very bad at their jobs these days.  What can we do?

Well I have said for many years in my performance coaching but if you want things to be better you are going to have to be better and perhaps you're going to have to be different. So maybe it's time to make new decisions, new directions, and perhaps expand the dimensions of your life.

How are you going to be different?  With your permission and just 12 minutes I'd like to share some stories and give you some thoughts that just might be helpful to you and may I suggest that there's a part of you that needs to seek maybe, a touch of immortality.

I think it's worthwhile to take a time out and take 12 minutes to hear me out!
