Alan Weiss’s Monday Morning Memo® – 04/11/11
April 11, 2011—Issue #82
This week’s focus point: I’m in Normandy, and the heroism of the men who stormed these beaches is hard to comprehend. I’m fit, and I doubt I could climb the heights at Omaha beach in less than several hours, and I don’t have 40 pounds of equipment, drenched clothing, and heavy arms firing at me. Think twice when someone says a golfer is making an heroic putt, or a politician an heroic decision. As survivors of the invasion have commented, “We’re not the heroes, the heroes are buried up there.” You don’t need heroism to find and help clients, or to try new ventures, or to recover from failure. So what’s stopping you? No one is shooting. (For photos, please visit my Facebook page.)
