"A lot of times mistakes are what help you become a better player because you become mentally tougher in that situation when you face it again."
~ Mickey Andrews
As much as I hated many college football practices, a daily grind, life seems to be more approachable. Making mistakes is acceptable along as you learn from them and don't make them again as much. Its nice not to have a field video on me 100% of the time. Mickey also said, "The eye in the sky never lies!" Referring to the video camera on you during practice and in games. I truly feel that God is watching me on camera all of the time even when I don't think so. I have a family and I make mistakes. From football to family I have accepted not to be afraid to make mistakes. I am only human. I am striving for excellence and perfection but its good to know when I fall out of line. Thank you Cassie, Dustin, Dillon and Ethan. I promise to you that I will strive to be the best Step Father, Husband and Parent that I can be and more.
I have always remembered the IBM story about mistakes. Hear goes, Bob, the new executive that joined IBM's, head chief super important management, group had made a mistake. A mistake so big it cost the company $10,000,000. Bob the new executive just started a week ago. Well the boss walks into Bob's office and before the boss speaks Bob informs the boss his resignation will be handed in at the end of the day. The boss looks at Bob walks around his desk to face him eye to eye. The boss speaks, "Bob today was one of the worst days the company has ever had. Why would I want to fire you? I have just invested $10 million in your training. If you every do something like that again though we have to let you go." Bob had never looked at that perspective before. Bob would go one to bring the company to new heights.
