When 10 seconds of inspiration makes you think

We love the feedback we get about our Shareable Saturday emails, and we’re proud that one of our biggest fans is Mark Goldstein, who serves as the Central Florida area director for Christian Leadership Concepts.

Sometimes he’s thoughtful and insightful, sometimes he’s just funny (and a bit sassy). Here’s a sampling:

Wise words! As I’ve always said, “Seasons ‘Season’ Seasons”

The inspirational quote (sent 1/2/2021):

“Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really: Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.” – Thomas J. Watson

Mark’s response:

This reminds me that all of the prolific homerun leaders in the history of MLB were also the most prolific strikeout leaders – with the exception of Barry Bonds. The bottom line – they all swung for the fences.

Interesting. I’ve always thought I was a bit off-kilter!
