The Final Cut

The movie The Final Cut starring Robin Williams & Mira Sorvino was on TV last night – I just happened to notice it – I didn’t watch it.

What caught my eye was the Tag Line.

– Life is about messages.
– Sometimes you get the message and you get an attainment.

“You cannot achieve anything personally or professionally from a starting position of low self-esteem.” – Dan Sullivan.

What ever you believe you are right.
