#10 is…exhausting.
Trust me, most of them are exhausting. Reminds me of the Wide World of Sports tag line – Thrill of Victory – The Agony of Defeat – And end each day EXHAUSTED!
I was the office manager for a research group at UC Berkeley at one time. I remember the demands and the exhaustion…and I’m actually glad that fate decided to remove me from all of that and force me to just be a mom….which has also been demanding and exhausting, but sooooooooo rewarding.
I can feel that – it shows in your posts…
Awwww….mission accomplished. 🙂
🙂
first of all, i loved this film and the story of this passionate man on the wire.
secondly, i would say, ‘be. fully.’
Loved the film too Beth. And the soundtrack. We’re working on the “fully” part. 🙂
Very good point regarding ‘be.fully’ 🙂
be.FULLY 🙂
Thanks!
no strategy at all. be. fully. is simply being exactly who you are, no more, no less.
So Zen Shinto.
Not me 🙂 I hate to be strategic. Be Tactical. Be a firefighter. I am how I am 🙂
Thanks and Love, nia
Good for you you Nia. Just “be”…
Great list – I would add, ‘be yourself’ and ‘laugh’ – take your work seriously, take yourself lightly. The list is so intense – and there has to be some place in the day to modulate the stress. Either that, or everyone dies younger than they should.
Been thinking about this. Believe I missed these points and they are important…and there is a future post in your comment. Digesting it all. Thanks.
So, that’s all it takes?
That’s it!
WMS! WMS!!
GOT IT! GOT IT!
Be on fire!
YES. Light ’em up!
Interesting advice stack, David. I wonder if Philippe Petit would recognize it. Is the list associated with him? He is completely disciplined when planning to do the impossible. Yet he is first of all I think a visionary who may use methods that would surprise us. What do you think, David?
I LOVED the moved Frank. I think Philippe Petit is playing at a different level. Not sure he would/could function in corporate life despite his ability to perform the impossible. Brilliant man. Amazing accomplishments. Corporate life, not sure the methods would fly.
He would be Bill Gates/Steve Jobs or nothing.
Where does stubbornness fit in?
That’s a great point LaDona. Let’s just say, for me, every single line.
