I feel honored this morning.
I woke up, and had a Google alert reporting another blog linked to my essay Woody Allen’s Success Secret. I like to check these alerts to make sure it’s not spam. But I wasn’t quite prepared for what I found.
My jaw dropped when I saw who sent the link…
The Tom Peters.
I couldn’t believe my eyes.
You see, I’ve been a fan of Tom’s work since the 1980s when I was still in high school. His insights into work and human behavior are phenomenal. I remember driving my old and raggedy Datsun B210 (what a beauty!) to and from my job (washing dishes) with the audio cassette version of In Search of Excellence
What I didn’t realize at the time was I was already applying his wisdom. Just a little bit at a time. I was understanding more about the way the people who succeeded behaved vs. the people who just got by. My actions were shaping me more into a successful person – one step at a time!
So you’ll see what an honor it to have him see my work and to find it valuable.
I’d like to welcome everyone from tompeters! I hope you’ll find your stay valuable.
