Whilst in DC somehow we were invited to attend a dinner full of world leaders and movers and shakers (as Tony Blair called them), where one of the speakers was Ken Blanchard author of The One Minute Manager
First he got the audience out of its seat....a task in itself given the nature of the assembled crew....to engage in some 'attitude exercises'. Feeling suitably admonished and challenged I settled back down in a more open frame of mind.
He told us we should start our days slowly. He thought it inappropriate to be woken by an ALARM clock, but better to be aroused by an OPPORTUNITY clock!
He gazed over the assembled diners and observed that many were engaged in the 'Rat Race'. Remember, he quipped, if you win, you are still a rat!!

We welcome short comments on Belfast Media Group blog postings but you should be aware that, since we've put our names to our articles, we encourage you to do so also. Preference in publication will be given to those who provide an authenticated full name — as is already the case in our newspapers. Comments should be short and relate to the subject matter and, of course, shouldn't be libelous. And remember, if you find that there isn't enough space on our blogs for your views, you can always start your own. There are over two million blogs out there, another one can only benefit the blogosphere.
