Success is relative and usually measured against a highly valued person or act in society. Just last week, I was sitting at a board meeting for our nonprofit organization listening to one of our board members talk about the absurdity of the value (we as a society) place on sports players versus respectable jobs such a teaching, plumber, social worker, etc. And he is correct. Right about now, you might be wondering where I am going with this line of thought? When we value a person's achievement -- such as a sport player's achievement -- that player is entered into the 'Hall of Fame'. By the same token, each of us can be placed in our respective 'Hall of Fame' - which does not mean that we will receive the same level of recognition. But who cares. Do great work for yourself not for others.
About a month ago, I ran across this song while perusing 'YouTube' titled "Hall of Fame" by Script featuring Will.I.am. Here is the official video shown below:
Now, lets look at the same song without the story line (visual aids) but with lyrics only as shown in the form of video shown below:
The artists who wrote the song hit on a very important concept for all of us who chose to not pursue 'music' as a profession. In any profession the possibility exists to be in a respective 'hall of fame'. Furthermore, there are many professions which do not have a 'hall of fame' but are extremely noteworthy of their service. In the video with lyrics, a few are mentioned: Students, Teachers, Politicians, Preachers, Believers, Leaders, Astronauts,....most importantly BE A CHAMPION along with BE TRUTH SEEKERS.
Be the best at whatever you strive to do!
