thought provoking two minute clip and it's entitled good. That's

what the title is good because it talks about the
importance of facing obstacles, of putting you in situations that
you're not comfortable in, and why it's so beneficial. Here
we go.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
One of my direct subordinate's one of my guys that.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Worked for me.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
He would call me up or pull me aside with
some major problems, some issue that was going on, and
he'd say, boss, we got this and that and the
other thing. And I look at him and I say
good and find me. One day he was telling me
about some issue that he was having, some problem, and
he said, I already know what you're going to say.

(01:47):
And I said, well, what am I going to say?
He said, you're going to say good. He said that's
what you always say when something is wrong and going bad.
You always just look at me and say good. And
I said, well, yeah, when things are going bad, there's
going to be some good that's going to come from it.

(02:10):

Speaker 2 (02:22):
We can focus on our owther one. Didn't get funded,
didn't get the job you wanted. You got injured, strained
my ankle, got tapped out. Good, got beat Good thought
unexpected problems don't be good. We have the opportunity to

(02:43):
figure out a solution.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
When things are going bad, don't get all bummed out,
don't get startled, don't get frustrated. If you can say
the word good, guess what it means you're still alive.
It means you're still breathing. And if you're still breathing,

(03:11):
over the hell, you've still got some fight left in you.
So get up, dust off, reload, recalibrate, re engage, and
go out on the attack.
