[music]
Folks, several years ago, I was working with
one of the largest airlines in the US.
They had just recently gone through a downsizing,
so, everyone in my class had recently,
through no fault of their own,
lost their job.
The course I was teaching was
Transitioning From One Job to the Next.
The content of the course was
how to write a cover letter and resume,
how to use your contacts
to network effectively into interviews
and how to interview effectively
to be the selected candidate.
All the participants in this workshop
were jet engine mechanics.
Most of them were 20 to 30 years old;
I did have a couple of people
who are closer to retirement.
Right before I started the class,
I had a gentleman come up to me and asked me,
Craig would you mind if I addressed the class
before you started your comments?
And I said, well,
I don't have a problem with that,
go ahead, knock yourself out.
As he addressed the class,
he said folks, all of you know me,
you know I've been working here for 35 years.
I'm excited about this transition, I know everybody's not.
I'm excited about this transition.
I am moving from this company
to what I've always wanted to do.
I'm going to my dream job,
this is something I've wanted to do for 35 years.
If I could give you a bit of advice,
all of you
who are just starting out in your careers.
If you don't want to be a jet engine mechanic all your life,
get out now
or get out soon.
You see, I didn't want to be a jet engine mechanic all my life,
yes, that's what I did.
I had a dream.
I had something I knew I really wanted to do; it was my passion,
but I got comfortable
with making a pretty good salary.
I settled for a fairly decent
benefits package.
I compromised
working for a company that was a nice company to work for
doing a job
I got a moderate amount of satisfaction out of,
and when I did compromise,
when I did settle,
I lost my drive
to work toward my perfect job,
my dream job.
When I settled,
I lost my motivation.
And my suggestion to you is,
don't be like me.
I regret those decisions.
I wish I had made this move
years ago,
and by the way folks,
I wish you well on your transition.
I hope you find a place
beyond this one,
that you really like working at.
And at that point,
he left.
Well, to me, that was such a powerful moment,
without even saying anything around the class,
I said, let's take a 10 minute break.
I wanted to give these folks ample time
to fully digest
the message this guy, with 35 years of experience,
was sending them.
And so as I walked into the break,
my first emotion was elation.
I was so happy for this guy.
Here's a guy who is finally getting a chance
to do what he always wanted to do for 35 years.
This is his dream job.
This is his pipe dream,
whatever you want to call it.
He's moving on to something
that he believes is going to be better than where he's been
for the last 35 years.
That emotion, however,
didn't last very long.
Very soon after,
it turned to sadness.
Sadness that here's a guy
who had spent 35 of his years
compromising,
doing something
that obviously meant a lot to him,
but he compromised in that he
got a moderate amount of enjoyment out of it.
When it's possible
he could have been doing something,
with a lot of passion,
that he loved doing every day.
You know, Jim Collins wrote a book,
it's about companies,
rather than individuals necessarily,
but the principle is the same
and the title of the book is
Good to Great
again, written by Jim Collins.
And I want to read you just little bit of it
because it really ties into what I'm suggesting.
On the first page of the book,
he says,
"Good is the enemy of great
and that is one of the key reasons
why we have so little
that becomes great.
We don't have great schools,
primarily because we have good schools.
We don't have great government,
primarily because
we have good government.
Few people attain great lives,
in large part,
because it is just so easy
to settle for a good life."
Now folks, I'm not denigrating
a good life
and I'm not suggesting we have to have a great life
or that everything in our life
has to be great.
But what I am suggesting is,
there are certain things that are really important to us
and maybe we've got to be careful
how much we settle
for less
in those areas
that to us are really important.
You know, the statement,
the minimum you accept is the maximum you will get
suggests that whatever level we're willing to settle at
we shouldn't expect life to come along give us twice as much.
It doesn't work that way,
because once we settle,
we're not doing the things
that would change it.
It's also suggesting
that if relationships are really important to us in our life,
and so we really want them to be great,
we better be careful
if we settle for a relationship that's good
because that's going to end in regret.
Or if our career
is something that is really important to us,
we've got a be careful
not to settle for a good career,
which could end in regret.
You know,
when I sit at the table a life for the last time
and I'm ready to cash my chips in
I want to make sure
that I've created a life
that has led to the fewest regrets.
My strategy for that
is to think about all the things that to me are really important
and make sure in those areas,
I settle the least.
So, my suggestion is,
think about, consider the statement,
the minimum you accept
is the maximum you'll get,
when you're making decisions around
those things that, to you, are really important.
Thinking about,
how much do I want to settle in this area
and considering that
will help you make better decisions
that will lead to
fewer regrets.

CANELO ALVAREZ "MAYBE GOLOVKIN IS STRONGER THAN ME.." SAYS GGG IS MOST DANGEROUS FIGHT OF CAREER - Duration: 3:17.
I feel very good & happy. I always like to train and prepare myself for whats in front of me & physically as well we have trained for this weight
I'm happy with the work we have done
I think that i'll be the same weight I always fight, just but obviously stronger, not sacrificing to make weight, even though I still have to cut weight
but im stronger, faster. Speed will be a big factor..a important factor in the fight
Is this the most important fight of your career?
Look, I've had big fights, important ones in my career. but its the most important, the most dangerous of my career at this moment
and I've taken the challenge. My team and I know this is 14 years worth of work. Its a great responsibility for me but we are ready for it.
Do you see this as a fight to consecrate your career, like Chavez Sr vs. Macho Camacho, Salvador Sanchez vs Wilfredo Gomez Saul?
I have had many fights that were" consecrated" and at the end people dont consecrate me. So I see it as a fight i which there will be a before & after of Canelo
Canelo I feel you're you have better technique, better arsenal of punches but do you think hes stronger than you or your just as strong?
Maybe hes stronger than me, maybe. I think though the one who is stronger than me doesnt mean he punches harder than me
I have intelligence and you have to be precise of when to land your punches so they are the same power wise like his or stronger
Oscar says you will have the weigh of all of Mexico on your back but you have shown you have the character to deal with that type of pressure
yes. I know how to handle all of this. The experience I've had is the training, training gives me confidence
KO or decision?
KO or decision..its all the same. For me its about winning thats most important
Everyone thank you for your support. This fight is for all of you.
Well they people say that the winner of this fight is P4P #1 so we are ready for that
There's always fighters in their prime, but this is my moment, my era and thats how I take it. Happy with the support of that from the people

Is Conor McGregor the Real Winner in Fight Against Floyd Mayweather? | MSG Networks - Duration: 2:19.
obviously big fight and yes maybe whether technically one but I think the
only real winner in this fight was McGregor because he went up against the
world's best at a sport he doesn't even compete in and he attacked pretty
fearlessly Mayweather did win but he also planted someone in McGregor's camp
to spy on him you're the world's best and you need insider info this doesn't
make any sense to me like why would you do this okay I understand that yes fine
spying is corny and all that but like of all the things that may weather has done strong point maybe he sent a spy in
there to kind of be like you know he wanted a good laugh he wanted to see
maybe videotape him see his stupid stance that seemed really in price and
peak all the fights for him to cheat in this one this is the one I mean I get
that Connors card was the unknown you don't need to cheat I still taken how
good that Lane Bryant joke was that he cheated and and apparently I didn't know
this was a story - you told me about it and then and he's laughing about it I
mean like it's a joke and some people think that it never really happened and
that maybe whether it's just saying this is like hype but even if that's true
like this only makes you look bad but also he did everyone's saying that this
is the general consensus I see that that McGregor won because in some ways
because he lasted ten rounds boxing is really tough right his conditioning just
wasn't there if it wasn't for the fact that he got winded so quickly the fight
I don't think he would have won but the fight would have been a little bit
different just he looked tired we've been Knicks fans too long because you
guys are defending a loss what is this
challenged the best boxer in the world to a fight you better have
something mental here who gets more credit McGregor for showing up or me for
showing up here today
