Bons tempos em que os pais tinham algo de valoroso para ensinar aos filhos, valores, disciplina, respeito e atitude respeitável diante dos problemas e situações da vida, isso é que pode ser chamado de herança que deve ser passada dos pais para os filhos. Esse valores podem se encontrados no livro deste autor, que tem muitos exemplos a compartilhar vindos de seu pai, INFELIZMENTE, não consegui achar o nome o do pai do super-feliz, se alguém puder me ajudar nessa, eu agradeço.
Rick Rigsby possui também um canal no Youtube onde ele compartilha alguns videos sobre seu trabalho, então vamos falar sobre o que assistimos nesta lição com Coach Shane.
Dr. Rick Rigsby é um famoso autor de livros de auto-ajuda e palestrante motivacional, temos muitos por aí, mas Rick tem uma história de superação bem mais forte que a maioria, sendo assim seus discursos tendem a ser mais chocantes. Ganhador de vários prêmios, seus livros são amplamente conhecidos e são considerados beste sellers na Amazon, USA TODAY e no Wall Street Journal, empresas dignas de necessitar um ou todos os coach motivacionais que existem no planeta.
De seu pai, que não achei o nome em lugar nenhum, (devo ser muito burro) Rick aprendeu a levantar cedo, que chegar uma hora antes no trabalho é melhor que chegar 1 minuto atrasado, que não devemos julgar as pessoas (exceto se formos juízes de direito ou se acharmos que qualquer problema é superável) e que devemos estar sempre prontos para servir. Da mãe dele também aprendeu que se ela não deve ser decepcionada, pois se ela estiver infeliz, ninguém mais estará feliz, mas se o pai infeliz estiver, ninguém liga. Brincadeiras à parte, neste discurso famoso que alcançou mais de 130 milhões mundo afora, Rick fala também sobre grandes pensadores, não há necessidade de citar o nome deles, mas uma das frases ou pensamentos que me chamou a atenção foi essa, fantástica, vejam: “Visão, é a capacidade de ver o invisível”, eu achava que era mediunidade. O invisível, caso seja, é a capacidade que todos temos de superar limites e adversidades, qualquer animal possui isso, nós que somos os únicos que precisamos ser levados para baixo para depois sermos levantados novamente. Não é minha opinião, só minha visão, então ou sou médium ou tenho a capacidade de ver o que já foi visto, porém, ignorado.
Muitos e muitos vídeos motivacionais surgirão ao longo dos tempos, uma vez que acordamos vendo qualquer vídeo disponível em qualquer dispositivo que nos rodeia, hoje estamos cercados por todos os tipos, tamanhos e preços e nenhum deles está nos ensinando como sair desse buraco.

454 Lessons to Learn II
Simple lessons. Lessons like these: “Son, don’t judge people. Son, I’ve worked at Cal Maritime. You know, I’ve been all over the world. I’ve seen good and bad in every shade. Don’t judge people. The tendency of a person is to walk away from somebody that’s different from them. You stay there, and you get to know them. Never judge.” Then he’d drop Jonathan Swift on me who said, “Vision is the ability to see the invisible.” Don’t judge.
Another lesson from this third-grade dropout, “Son, you’d rather be an hour early than a minute late.” We never knew what time it was at my house ‘cuz the clocks were always ahead. We were on Cal Mari-time. Come on, somebody!
Watch this. My father had the breakfast and lunch shift here at the Academy. He had to be at work at 5 o’clock. We lived on Tennes…we lived on Louisiana Street 15 minutes away. My mother said for nearly 30 years my father left the house at 3:45 in the morning. One day she asked him, “Why, daddy?” He said, “Maybe one of my boys will catch me in the act of excellence.”
I want to share two things with you. Aristotle said you are what you repeatedly do. Therefore, excellence ought be a habit not an act. Don’t ever forget that. The other thing I want to share with you is Harvard Business Review, September 2004. The article is titled Deep Smarts. Here’s the thesis: Lecturing—what our universities are based upon—is the worst kind of teaching method…usually! Present company excluded. That if you want to get the intended message across model the behavior. My daddy, a third-grade dropout…a cook…was modeling excellence for his boys combining academic knowledge and old school wisdom. That’s what makes an impact. An impact. As you go all over the world, you’re not interested in making a nice impression, you want to make an impact.
Lesson Number 3. Be kind to people. He always told us, “Kind deeds are never lost.” I get to do a lot of NFL chapels. You see some amazing things with those National Football League players. You see guys that can bench press 200, 300 pounds 20 times. You see folks that are huge that can run like a deer. You see folks from a flat-footed position jump 40 inches—40-inch vertical leap. I even saw a white guy do it once. But the point…
You know what stops me in my tracks? When I see one of those rich folks show kindness. It literally stops the world. George Washington Carver said when common people do common things in uncommon ways they command the attention of the world. I just described your grandmother. I know you’re tough. I know you’re seaworthy, but always remember to be kind. Always. Don’t ever forget that. Never embarrass mama. Yeah. If mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy. If daddy ain’t happy, don’t nobody care. But you know, I’m trying to tell you…
Next lesson. Lesson from a cook over there in the galley. “Son, make sure your servant’s towel is bigger than your ego.” I want to remind you cadets of something as you graduate: ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity. You all might have a relative in mind you want to send that to. Let me say it again. Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity. Pride is the burden of a foolish person.
You’ll never be a great shipmate, you’ll never be a great executive, you’ll never be a great teammate…if it’s all about you. You’ll never be a great supervisor or councilperson if it’s all about you. You’ll never be a great staff member if it’s all about you. Rather, make sure that servant’s towel is always big. On President Cropper’s bookshelf, in his bookshelf, he has everyone from…every book from Plato’s Republic to Lessons in Leadership by Coach Wooden. John Wooden coached basketball at UCLA for a living, but his calling was to impact people. And with all those national championships, guess what he was found doing in the middle of the week… Going into the cupboard grabbing a broom and sweeping his own gym floor.
You want to make an impact. Find your broom. Every day of your life you find your broom. You grow your influence that way. That way you’re attracting people so that you can impact them.
