Celebrate
One of his biggest regrets is that he didnt truly celebrate it. He kind of got back to work thinking about the next tournament and didnt want to make too big a deal out of it – but i…t was a big deal and this is a regret.
It is so important we take time to smell the roses. I remember when I got accepted to flight school, a big accomplishment (they only took 4 people my year from my source) I immediately started to worry about my grades at school and what aircraft I would fly. I wasnt even going to check in to the place for a year and wouldnt get my wings for three years but i was already moving on and never took the time to pat myself on the back and celebrate the achievement.
"Your energetic speaking style and well-polished presentation captured the attention of the entire audience of nearly 300 Coast Guard personnel...Your familiarity with the Coast Guard and our missions was evident, as you incorporated service history and factual information in your presentation... Your sincere, heartfelt presentation certainly contributed to the overall readiness of this command. Thanks again!"
