Ross Barry, CEO of Shoals Hospital. I must say, he is a very good and inspirational speaker. he spoke a lot about decision-making, and how even though we can still have a good time in college, we must also figure out where we want to get in life and work towards that goal. for example, do we want to be bossed or be the boss? planning is a big part of life, and so many people these days just don't think about the future in that kind of mindset. they're like, oh i'll get to it later, i just wanna have fun right now. well that won't really get them anywhere now will it?
i personally have a problem with getting my homework done because i have to be in the mood. half the time i'd much rather be playing solitaire (call me an old lady all you want, that game is the shiznit). but i do manage to get everything in time, so i guess i fit into the category of being a normal teenager/college kid but not letting it get to extremes. i'm just lazy. not to proud to admit it. nobody should be, it's healthy to have a lazy time every now and then. just don't let that time be 24/7.
barry makes all his top level executives do required reading, which i think is kind cool. i like to read though, so that wouldn't be much of a problem for me. anyway. one of the books he has them is called "212 degrees". basically, water boils at 212 degrees; you can get it almost to boiling point at 211 degrees, but that don't quite cut it because it's not boiling. same thing with your life. you can't just get almost there, you have to do the whole shindig.
vera verum va vera causea: do the right thing the right way for the right reason.
