"Doom Comes In Many Forms"


"Doom comes in many forms, but none more than at the end of a bayonet." W. Churchill. I am currently reading a biography on Winston Churchill in which he so elequently points out that bad things happen in life. Often times as history often shows us, bad things happen because we failed to recognize bad things were coming. I suspect this was the case for much of the French and British during World War II. Many times bad things in life like cancer or car wrecks happen for no reason at all. I've often said the 2 things in this life you can control the most are your attitude and what time you get some where. This picture above (Me in the Middle) was taken at a reception for this years Arkansas Business 40 under 40 selections, of which I was greatly honored to be selected by the way. Anyway my "attitude" and my "time of arrival" where two really big reasons why I was selected to this years 40 under 40 class. My attitude was that I was going to be successful inspight of "bad things coming my way." I was going to "arrive on time", in other words not get distracted by bad things coming my way that could delay my final destionation of success. Remember next time "Doom" comes your way it could have been in the form of a bayonet and how are you going to react to it.
