Speech by Brian Dyson, CEO Coca Cola
If anyone knows the original source
of this, please let me know so I can link to it.Imagine life as a game in which
you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them – work, family,
health, friends and spirit … and you’re keeping all of these in the air.You
will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce
back. But the other four balls – family, health, friends and spirit – are made
of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked,
nicked, damaged or evenshattered. They will never be the same. You must
understand that and strive for Balance in your life.
How?
Don’t undermine your worth by
comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us
is special.
Don’t set your goals by what other
people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
Don’t take for granted the things
closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them,
life is meaningless.
Don’t let your life slip through
your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one
day at a time, you live all the days of your life.
Don’t give up when you still have
something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don’t be afraid to admit that you
are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each
together.
Don’t be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be pave.
Don’t shut love out of your life by
saying it’s impossible to find time. The quickest way to receive love is to
give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way
to keep love is to give it wings!
Don’t run through life so fast that
you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.
Don’t forget, a person’s greatest
emotional need is to feel appreciated
Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge
is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
Don’t use time or words carelessly.
Neither can be retrieved. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savoured each
step of the way…
