For those of you that do NOT appreciate my political viewpoints, I might suggest moving past this one as today's Morning Motivator is about Keith Olberman's mindless rant about social healthcare from last night.
LUCK is a "four letter word." It is not one that has any real MEANING, nor value. Last night, Mr. Keith Olberman of MSNBC went on a long winded MONOLOGUE about his father and a life saving surgery he was forced to undertake. I am PLEASED to say that he reports his father is doing well. However, he also mentioned seeing a friend that had a daughter in the ICU of the same hospital whom was being forced to sell his farm and baseball card collection to PAY for her care.
Mr. Olberman continued to mention that his father was cared for by one of the TOP 5 surgeons in the world. Very FORTUNATE. He also mentioned that everyone should have EQUAL access to that doctor, not just him because he was LUCKY enough to make a great income. Here lies my CONCERN…
2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
First, he is NOT lucky by the grace of aligning stars and magic pixie dust. He worked his ASS off to get ahead and sacrificed many hours of school and less than DESIRABLE assignments until he was able to PROVE himself to be a master of his craft, thus demanding a HIGHER income.
Secondly, as sad as I am for his friends situation, it is IGNORANT to believe that GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE will "allow access" for "everyone" to one of the TOP 5 physicians in the world.
Seriously, do you think you would get that kind of care if the GOVERNMENT is paying for it?
Remember that LUCK is not magic… it is the moment that OPPORTUNITY aligns with your HARD WORK and a HEIGHTENED AWARENESS of your abilities. Also, remember that when you seek to SERVE everyone, you end up EFFECTIVELY serving none.
Make your OWN luck… Don't wait for a "system" or "government" to tell what your luck will be!
Cheers,
Zach
