Quiet Strength, by Tony Dungy
Tony Dungy's words and example have intrigued millions of people, particularly following his victory in Super Bowl XLI, the first for an African American coach. How is it possible for a coach--especially a football coach--to win the respect of his players and lead them to the Super Bowl without the screaming histrionics, the profanities, the demand that the sport come before anything else? How is it possible for anyone to be successful without compromising faith and family? In this inspiring and reflective memoir, Coach Dungy tells the story of a life lived for God and family--and challenges us all to redefine our ideas of what it means to succeed. He led his team to #1 in the world-and showed the world a better way to live, lead, and succeed. When Tony Dungy led the Indianapolis Colts to victory in Super Bowl XLI-and made history as the first African American coach to win the big game-millions of people, amazed by the success of his quiet, authoritative leadership style, wondered: how does he get it done? In the pages of this fascinating memoir, Tony Dungy reveals the secrets to his success-principles, practices, and priorities that have kept him on track despite overwhelming personal and professional obstacles, including firings, stereotypes, and the tragic loss of a child. In the face of so much adversity, Tony has not only survived but risen to the very top of his profession in a way that’s won the respect of fans, players, and even his competitors. His thoughts on leading, succeeding, and attaining true significance will inspire you to take a long, hard look at the things that really matter in your own life. This was a wonderful book to read. |

Well, Jess in our spare time I guess we could try going to a bar at night and have the locals teach us what we are suppose to do with that pole? We can be the two, 'working 9 to 5 girls.' Dancing to, 'Gloria'
How hard can it be anyway? I mean really, I'm up for trying just about anything. As long as I can disinfect the pole before it's my turn, I'm good. Oh, and I can put on more clothes and take off less, that would be good too... |

LOLOLOL!! All right, Kristin, lets go! I'm built for it!
And yes... we can carry our little Germ-X bottles in those teency-weecy-yellow-polka-dot-thingys that we'll pull out from the bottom of those top drawers. We can be the Ivy-League Chicks... We'll take the world by a storm! (wow... and the post started with such potential... poles and bottles of Germ-X... wow.) |

Atlas Shrugged is a ponderous 1,000+ page book that would have been a great 200 page book. The story goes that Rand wrote the book in about 18 months. She spent over a year on one 100 page speech that occurs near the end of the book. The book is so repetitive that most people skip past the 100 page speech by the time they get to it. The thrust of the book is that only a few individuals in this world are creative, useful and make contributions to mankind. They and the people who know and support them are good. Everyone else is trying to take the fruits of their labor from them and usually succeed.
On the history thing... I've greatly enjoyed the Barbara Tuchman books I've read. |
