Most of you know Appalachian State University is near and dear to my heart for 3 reasons: 1) It’s where I graduated from College. 2) It’s where I coached from 1984 until 1990… 3rd and best of all… It’s where I met my wife of almost 23 years (God help her). Two years ago I went back to see a football game there and found myself in awe at just how much the University had grown. I had been back before to speak to classes but never before to a football game. WOW what a change!!

One of the things that impressed me the most was a sign that I saw in the athletic weight room. I know I share a lot of motivational stuff when I speak to different groups, organizations, or even different departments here at Europa about ATTITUDE and that’s because I need it. You see, my attitude can be down right not good some days—so that’s why I need all the help that I can get. Someone told me once “a good attitude doesn’t guarantee success—but a bad attitude does guarantee FAILURE!”

I also received a great Email yesterday from a co-worker that I’d like to share with you – not at work, but when you go home go to the “YOU TUBE VIDEO listed blow” and take a look. Says a lot about what our words can do to each other. The first 2 minutes you’ll be thinking “I’m not watching this!” – but give it some time---very good!

Good afternoon Chip,

I have turned my car into a rolling university and this is one of the things I have ran across that I thought you may enjoy and may have even seen before. This video falls in line with the power of positive thinking and encouragement that you do so well and puts some science behind it.
