Avoiding A Disappointing Life

In the last quarter of 2006, Acer Notebooks outsold Toshiba notebooks, and Sumit Agnihotry, Director of Marketing, said the reason was execution. "Once a strategy is decided, if execution doesn't happen, its just talk," Joanna Stern, Laptop Magazine.

That statement made a lot of sense to me because I feel that opportunity without execution will become disappointment. So I need to examine myself for execution, or follow through, on decisions I've made. For example, I had decided to read more - do I? I believe the answer is yes. I set time aside routinely, make book selections, and read regularly. It was, and is, quite rewarding.

While pastoring in Fairbanks, I remember examining my time at the church, about two years had passed at that moment, and I was not please with my progress. So, I chose a plan and began to execute one goal at a time. After a ten year pastorate, I looked back and felt good about my accomplishments. It was far from perfect, but I think I made a difference in some areas.

As Don Meyer would say, 'Think About It."
