I heard a great motivational speech  one night at the Toastmasters. We had a guest speaker by the name of Bob Kittel. Here are my notes on his presentation.

• Success is when you get up every time you fall.
• You can create your ‘pause’ in life for example was the famous quote Disneyland (pause) now insert the rest of the famous phrase. Disneyland Is the finest place in the world. You can determine what you will be.
• Sometimes you can misjudge the situation or person. Bob showed a picture of a dog that when someone approached the dog snapped of them. A second person approached the dog snapped and then the second person observed that the pot of the dog was in a trap therefore it was in agony and was feeling defensive. The first observer didn’t notice that
• You can control your mindset. Some people will face a situation and observed about how bad things are. But the bad idea is how lucky you were that only this happened. Think of the situation in the most positive terms. He gave an example where he was in a car accident and they had to transport him across the street from one hospital to another. Alice E was laying on the gurney he was looking up and he saw two vultures flying around in the sky. He found that be hilarious in the situation. Positive note he was alive after car accident.
• You want to avoid -5 but do up for a possible instead
• you can give kindness away it always returns back to
• Gifts come from your places that have been difficult.
• Set goals. For example when you go down a corridors you will find additional corridors that branch off the original corridors giving you additional opportunities
• If you are the most positive person in your group of five friends & friends that you positive with equal to your positive’s.
• Your failures help you become successful. I gave a series of examples of how we set goals and how he worked toward those goals. He was not able to become a professional football player however because of his experiences he was on a higher plane of success then had he not tried it all.
