When I get sad, I stop being sad, and be awesome instead. True story.

I love HR. Honest. With all of my cold evil heart, I love HR. Because I think it has potential. I’ve seen great HR. I’ve worked for great HR people. But, we need to get more of us up to speed and communicating and working with and not against. If people are our most valuable resource, let’s cherish them. And for heaven sakes, let’s get a good HRIS in place so that we don’t have to bother you with paperwork.
Really important thing for HR people to keep in mind. It’s SO easy for us to get bogged down in the mire.

The thing is, I really like saying yes. I like new things, projects, plans, getting people together and doing something, trying something, even when it’s corny or stupid. I am not good at saying no. And I do not get along with people who say no. When you die, and it really could be this afternoon, under the same bus wheels I’ll stick my head if need be, you will not be happy about having said no. You will be kicking your ass about all the no’s you’ve said. No to that opportunity, or no to that trip to Nova Scotia or no to that night out, or no to that project or no to that person who wants to be naked with you but you worry about what your friends will say.
No is for wimps. No is for pussies. No is to live small and embittered, cherishing the opportunities you missed because they might have sent the wrong message.

You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself.

I wish for your help to create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity”.

And all I ask is one thing…and this is…I’m asking this particularly of young people that watch…please do not be cynical. I hate cynicism. For the record, it’s my least favorite quality. It doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen. I’m telling you. Amazing things will happen. I’m telling you. It’s just true.
