one of my direct subordinates, one of my guys that worked for me.

He would call me up or pull me aside with some major problem, some issue that was going on.

And he'd say, boss, we got this and that and the other thing.

And I look at him and I'd say, good.

And finally one day he was telling me about some issue that he was having some problem and he

said I already know what you're gonna say I said well what am I gonna say he said you're

gonna say good he said that's what you always say when something is wrong and

going bad you always just look at me and say good and I said well yeah when things are going bad

there's going to be some good that's going to come from it didn't get the new high speed gear we

wanted good didn't get promoted good More time to get better. Oh, mission got canceled. Good. We can focus on

another one. Didn't get funded. Didn't get the job you wanted. Got injured. Sprang my ankle. Got tapped out. Good.

Got beat? Good. You learned. my ankle got tapped out good got beat good learned unexpected problems good

we have the opportunity to figure out a solution that's it when things are going bad

don't get all bummed out, don't get startled, don't get frustrated.

If you can say the word good, guess what? It means you're still alive. It means you're still breathing. It means you're still breathing.

And if you're still breathing,

well, now, you still got some fight left in you.

So get up, dust off,

reload, recalibrate, re-engage, and go out on the attack.
