Why do bad things happen?  Why do good things happen?  Bottom line is that things happen that are beyond our control or comprehension.  Accepting that things happen is difficult....Accepting that we may never know the reason is faith.   “sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”  Marilyn Monroe

The Secret About Secrets

Achieve your destiny and be successful at any level by staying rooted in a strong work ethic, determination, and integrity.  My Mom and Dad were factory workers and generations before them were farmers or coal miners.  My path took me in a business direction, but it was still the work ethics and values of my blue collar roots that helped me reach top executive levels.  My Dad was a man of few words, but as I navigated through my career I could always find the answers I needed in the subtle things he said or did.  I believe these nuggets can help anyone achieve any level of success they desire and I want to share them.  I have written many of these in an unpublished book, but my gift is talking and not writing.  So I am going to share them in this weekly podcast in hopes someone finds them valuable or at least entertaining.  It doesn't matter what color your collar is.  We all have gifts and a purpose.  None more important than the other.  The important thing is that we all reach our full potential and be the best we can be.
