In this episode, we discuss a quote that may be attributed to Duke Ellington and/or Helen Keller. Since we are not 100% positive, we'll give them both credit.

There are two rules in life. #1 Never quit. #2 Don't forget rule #1.

  • Duke Ellington and Helen Keller

Patrick recounts how even though he wasn’t the best at his first career as a jeweler, he never gave up and instead kept learning to get better. Brian follows up by talking about a job experience that didn't pan out, and that there’s an important difference between quitting and changing.

The moral of the story being "don't give up." you may make decisions about careers or fall out of love with hobbies, and make changes in your life to get better results, but don't ever give up on the pursuits that really matter.

Patience is not simply the ability to wait, it’s how we behave while we’re waiting

  • Joyce Meyer

Brian and Patrick talk about how opportunities don’t just fall into your lap, you have to go out and find them – sometimes THAT’S what being patient is, is how your behaving and grinding it out for the next opportunity because sitting around eating Doritos isn’t going to get you anywhere.

If you don’t try at anything, you can’t fail. It takes backbone to lead the life you want.

  • Richard Yates

Patrick talks about what having a backbone means in regards to making changes in your life, risking failure, and doing the things you might not enjoy doing in order to make positive changes.

Brian discusses the failure aspect of the quote, and how avoiding the risk of failure won't lead to personal gain, but embracing failure and actually seeking it may lead to self improvement.

At the end of this episode, Patrick mentions that he would probably fail if he tried to draw a dog, but could eventually learn to do it well.  Challenge accepted, Pat!  Check out his first attempt here.
