November 30, 2010 – Details

My little girl heard a recording of another little girl singing yesterday.  She had a beautiful voice.  My six year old said she was ‘jealous’ of the girl with the angelic voice.   Jealous, she said,  because she couldn’t sing like that, but would love to.

It was time for a talk and so we sat down and discussed a few details.  Details about ability, motivation, determination and attitude.   Spoken well below with the words of Lou Holtz.

"Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it."
Lou Holtz

I hope she learns and remembers what we all need to remember:   that motivation and determination are huge components in achieving our goals and the attitude of which you handle any task certainly changes the outcome.
