Maynard G. Krebs, a.k.a. Bob Denver, died recently. I remember him as a child growing up in Gilligan’s Island. But mostly I remember him as the beatnik on “The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.” I was eight at the time the show first aired, and I was tickled to death when Maynard heard the word “Work” and this word shot shock waves through his whole system, having a high-pitched voice that got loud as he said the unmentionable, “WORK!?”
Maynard was playing the bongos, hanging out at the coffee shop where poets read poetry and the hip crowd made music.
Was Maynard a success? Of course, because he was accomplishing something that was important to him. That is our definition of success: the accomplishment of something that is important to you.
Most of us, however, would like a little more success than Maynard had. And of course that does take “WORK!?”
But not the kind of work where you just keep slogging along. You are either going forward or backward in life. There is no staying in the middle, staying just where you are today.
The kind of work that successful people do is goal setting, and goal planning; developing success characteristics and values to follow as they move forward in the adventure of life; and putting together a band of merry people to help them become successful, whether personally or in business.
Taking all of these ingredients and putting them together so people can move forward in life, have purpose and strive for better.
It is so much more than just rolling up your sleeves; it is about working the mind that will help you create your success. You can learn more about working your mind for more success at www.lifemotivations.com.
