(1) Carpe diem – seize the day
… we cannot guarantee tomorrow
… thank Goodness I told Bruce of my love
(2) Tragedies are potential blessings
… (Emerson) “God sends us gifts wrapped as problems. The bigger the problem, the bigger the gift.”
… we choose to be bitter or better
(3) Leadership is a state of mind; it is a disposition, not a position.
It’s a thought-choice, not title.

“Five Seconds at a Time” Principle
Step back, to step forward
The principle breaks seemingly
insurmountable challenges into
smaller, more manageable ones
I am not saying I stayed in -
30°C temperatures for 8 hours
…
I couldn’t do that ….
Stayed in -30°C temperatures
for 5 seconds …
5,760 times.

Power of Vision
“Where there is no vision, people perish.”
An obstacle is that which you see when you take your
eyes off the vision.
Liu Chi Kung (second to Van Cliburn in the 1958
Tchaikovsky Competition) was imprisoned for 7 years
1959-1966 during the cultural revolution in China.
On a daily basis he practiced envisioning
techniques.
“I practiced every day. I rehearsed every
piece I had ever played, note by note,
in my head.”
When released his concerts were even
better than before imprisonment.
