The Last Word - October 2009

What's your Motto?

“‘Seize the day.’ No matter what the day brings, there is always something to appreciate and be thankful for.  People spend too much time ruminating about the past or worrying about the future while ignoring the present moment.”

Rick Campbell • Partner, Armstrong Teasdale, LLP

“It doesn’t matter how well you do in life, but rather, how much good you do.”

Steve Schorr • Vice President of Public/Government Affairs, Cox Communications

“‘Dare to be great.’  I try to live by that motto.  Created by my late friend, Andrew Ashwood, these words showed me how we should all approach everything we do, everyday.  It’s really a basic approach to motivating yourself to handle your personal and professional lives in a manner of greatness.”

Todd Parmelee • Director of Operations, Golden Gaming, Inc.

“‘Life is a great adventure.’ – Be prepared and plan accordingly, but know that there will be unexpected joys and pitfalls along the way, keeping it interesting all the while.”

Don Kuhl • Principle, The Partner House

“‘Say what you’ll do and do what you say.’  Another good one is, ‘Show up, show up on time, show up prepared and you will be ahead of 95% of your competition.’ Simple, but most people don’t realize they are part of the 95% because they missed one of the three.”

Todd Blonsley, MBA, CCIM • Vice President of Investments, Marcus & Millichap Real Estate

“Play hard.  Play to win!”

Steve Stallworth • General Manager, South Point Arena
