Yeah, today's Q-O-D is, what kind of person must I become in order to do that?

Here we go. So, Welcome back to the Quot of the Day Show. I'm your host Sean Croxton and Sean Croxton

dot com. Happy New Year to you my friend. You know there was no better way to kick off 2024 than have our main man

Les Brown on the show and today Les is gonna kind of pick up where I left off

last Friday she's probably not gonna rant as much as I did last

Friday, but it's the same topic. It's the topic of becoming. It's about setting ambitious goals, like push yourself, stretch yourself, do something you've never done before, but remember to do something you've never done before, you have to become somebody you never were before. You're going to have to become somebody you never were before.

You're going to have to become someone new.

And so the goal is important, but the goal is mostly about you and your growth.

So what kind of person must you become to do the things that get the results that you want?

Less Brown's coming up.

On that fateful day, when Mr. Washington looked at me he looked at me in the eyes of Gerta who said

Look at a man the way that he is he only becomes worse but look at him as if he were what he could be

Then he becomes what he could be, then he becomes what he should be.

And as I looked in his eyes, I was just hoping, oh God, I hope he's right.

So you must have absolute faith.

Don't worry about what you don't have.

As George Washington Carver would say,

do what you can, where you are with what you have, and never be satisfied.

I remember when I was competing for a $300,000 contract at Proctan Gamble.

I was sitting across from two individuals who were there competing for the same

contract and they didn't know that I was there for it. And they were talking among themselves and they

pull out the sheet of the presenters and they saw my name.
