Sharing .... Enthusiasm

While waiting for the Orthopedic to look at my knee in Richmond, VA, I was struck by the words on this VCU poster of student RAM fans cheering their basketball team on. It's a quote by Dale Carnegie and is as true today as it was then: "Flaming enthusiasm backed up by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success."

Cheer each other on!

Yesterday I had the privilege of participating on the Visual Arts Panel for my alma mater's Career Conference in Roanoke, VA. To kick off the event Tina Wells, CEO and founder of Buzz Marketing Group spoke. There are 3 mantras that she lives by and encouraged the audience to adopt:

1. Assume that everyone has a POSITIVE INTENT

2. Always hold yourself ACCOUNTABLE

3. Choose a solution that is on a HIGHER GROUND - where the most benefit

Great advice for students and alumni alike!
