The first time is technically the best, even if the results
improve in future efforts. When someone asks or says, “Remember the first time…”,
her aim is to invoke a warm feeling, like the first day of Spring even when the
weather does not warm until the first week of April.
I once looked forward to first times so much that I overlooked
what I actually had. Eventually that led to some bad times, and unlike first
times, I tend not to repeat negative occurrences.
In actuality, no person should use the reference “first time” for
when something bad happened because the goal should then be for that bad event not
to happen again. In other words, let’s say, you have a shoulder that pops out
of the socket. I am quite sure you can recall the first time it happened, but
the hope is that you would have gotten surgery to properly repair it.
Otherwise, the shoulder matter is something you must reframe in
your mind as a source of strength, so that you can say, “Remember the first
time…” #dwaynewade
Life is about falling down and first times; that is how I treat my career, parenting and my passions.
MARCH FORWARD
This month, I bring you three friends who are entrepreneurs
following their dreams through ups and downs. Please visit their respective
website to learn more and support.
Monica L. Cook – I met her in undergrad and she’s always been one
to fight through adversity. A late bloomer in so many ways, and ahead of her
time in others, she’s a true friend who leads by example, in that she gets up
and forges ahead, and succeeds.
Michell C. Clark – An artist through outlook, he possesses a keen
ear to the music of today as well as the best to draw from that lifestyle.
Learn of this man and his brand, so that years from now, you can say, remember
the first time.
Edward L. Tarlton – The brashest of personalities usually have the
purest of hearts. If your next move involves achievement, particularly in the
academic arena for youth and adults alike, inquiring about his services should
be your first move.
SPRING TIME
We made it through a rough first quarter of the year, a winter
that would test your resolve and love for New York. If you are not in New York,
unless you were in AZ, FL, CA and the like, I am certain you battled the
snowiest winter in decades. Normally this experience forces people to rethink
their position. Are you looking to buy or sell? It really is hold or fold time.
