Quotation of the Week


"The greatest education in the world is watching the masters at work." -Michael Jackson



To pay a bit of homage to the late, great Michael Jackson,
I pulled out one of his quotes.

It was certainly sad to hear the comments of those recently surrounding him during the process of his upcoming comeback. It was said that the MJ of old was preparing to give us some amazing, new creations in the world of entertainment. Alas, it wasn't meant to be.

However, we cannot deny that he really was a master at singing, dancing, performing, and entertaining. Anyone who has ever wanted to be in the entertainment business could learn a whole lot from watching Michael at work.

And it's this way in all aspects of life.

Want to be fully educated in the world of business? Find the 'masters' of business/marketing/management and emulate them.

Want to be a phenomenal cook/chef? Seek out the best of the best, and you'll get a solid foundation about what it takes to cook.

Want to become strong, fit, and healthy? Search for those persons who have injected strength, health, fitness, and wellness into their own lives. Learn from the fitness 'masters'... imitate the steps they take... adopt the habits that make them the best at what they do.

Why reinvent the wheel when you want to accomplish something great in your life?

We all know, especially from MJ's untimely passing, that life is short.
Go after what you want! Find a role model and follow him/her!
What have you got to lose??!

Maybe you don't have the natural talent to get you to the point of a 'master'.
But you can sure try...

Maybe you'll still be a bit mediocre when comparing yourself to the best.
But isn't an 'average/mediocre' label better than being on the bottom, simply wishing you could do more with your life?

Thanks for the wisdom and the pleasant memories, Michael Jackson.
You will be missed...
