"Try Not"

"Do or Do not!"

These very powerful words were uttered by the smallest character in this epic series. A young student was being trained to become a great warrior and he was asked to perform a very difficult task. He tried to remove his fighter from a swamp using only his thoughts! The fighter began to move up out of the swamp, but just as headway was being made, the student had a doubt and the fighter slipped back into the swamp.

"It?s impossible proclaimed the student!" "You must believe in yourself and focus on the goal said the master." "I'll try again," replied the student. "No, Try Not, Do or Do Not," Yoda the Jedi Master demanded! Then with his strong focus and faith the young warrior lifted Luke Skywalker?s X wing fighter out of the swamp water and placed it on solid ground. How is your focus on your automotive career? Do you have a mentor (Jedi Master) to place you on solid ground?

Your success begins and ends with Attitude! "The most important person you?ll meet today is the person you'll see when you look in the mirror," says Brother Bob Harrington, The Chaplain of Bourbon Street. When you interact with others your attitude determines weather you have a positive or negative impact on them and yourself! The following words or phrase should be removed from your vocabulary:

1.) I'll Try
2.) I can't
3.) I don't know
4.) Not my Job
5.) He/She does it

When someone comes to you with a need, that person already has an expectation that your assistance will help fill that need! Your choice of words impacts the person?s idea of your character. For you to move from student to master, you must use positive words and have a can-do attitude towards customers and co-workers.

My mother always told me, "You need wisdom more then knowledge". She defined knowledge as something you learn through your own mistakes and wisdom as something you learn from other people's mistakes. You need to seek out a Mentor! Someone who has been down the path your journey is just starting. The mentor should be someone already looked up to because of their willingness to help.

Once you accept and understand that you are responsible for your attitude, no outside force can hinder it. You will become a Master with on going help from your Mentor placing you on solid ground!
