It's not over until I win

If you want a pick-me-up to start your morning, you have got to watch this 2 minute video of Les Brown.

 

I must have watched this video easily over 500 times.

 

The point he makes is so important.

 

He tells the story of his 9-year old son playing him in a game of Connect 4.

 

If you watch this video once, I will guarantee that you end up watching two or three more times today.

 

His son refuses to stop playing him even though he keeps losing. When Les Brown tries to call it a night, his 9-year old son tells him that he is not allowed to stop playing him.

 

He tells him that we will keep playing and that, “It’s not over UNTIL – I – WIN!”.

 

How is that for an attitude? As adults, we seem to quit mentally so easily when the road gets tough.

 

As kids, we keep trying and trying and trying. As adults, we get upset and throw in the towel in two seconds. Why is that? Shouldn’t it be the reverse?

 

If you are down right now, use this video as I have used it over 500 times.

 

Use it to remind you that IT’S NOT OVER UNTIL – I – WIN!

 

I don’t know about everyone else out there, but in watching this video as I wrote this today, I’m ready to run through a brick wall.

 

Have a great day everyone and look out because I’m gonna’ do something great today!! I wish the same for you my friends!!

 

Copy and paste this into your browser and watch this video. It's 2 minutes. Trust me. It's worth it.

I watched the video. You are right, that's two minutes well spent.

And I love calling a "bad" day, a "character-building" day. So true!!!!

Have a good one!

Good morning, Khash Saghafi this is how I think when I'm in competition.... "It's Not Over Until The Fat Lady Sings".... and when I'm "in the game" that fat lady hasn't even cleared her throat..... and I loved the video....and sent it to several agents and friends....

Hi Khash- I'm heading to the video after I comment. My mantra has been never to give up if you want something badly enough.
