What lesson in life do you cherish the most?
|
Java Joel, WAKS: “Do unto others…”. You know the rest. And, in the words, of Billy Ocean… “When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going!” Brian Mack, WXXL: Playing competitive sports as a kid really helped me understand the relationship between hard work and payoff. Which in turn allowed me to apply it in school, through college, and in business. I was lucky to grasp that concept early in life. Jonathan Shuford, WRVW: Define your work, but don’t let your work define you!
Jeff Hurley, iHeartMedia: “Hey, Don’t F*ck It Up,” “The Mayor” Pete Kennedy, immediately before my first show on 98PXY in 1998. Toby Knapp, WASH: Well, since you asked… Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. … And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. Josh Wolff, WAEB: Easy one, from my Dad who always said, “just be yourself.”
Jagger, WKSS: Treat others with kindness, treat them the way you would like to be treated. Rob Roberts, Cox Media Group: Demand perfection from others when you can deliver it yourself. |
Bartel. WKTU: Cherish and live life to the fullest, every single second.
John Reynolds, WNKS: You’re always learning! Matt Johnson, KSLZ: It has to be the “Golden Rule” of treating others the way you want to be treated. That’s what it all boils down to whether it’s business, personal, interpersonal, or group relationships. Todd Shannon, WAPE: It’s something very simple from my Dad who always said, do what makes you happy. You just apply that in a very simplistic way every day. You can’t make everyone happy, so you might as well make yourself happy.
Sassy, WKXJ: Given the reflection we are all feeling with the Kobe tragedy, it’s a good time to reach out to people that you haven’t talked to in a while…call them up and share a moment with them. Tell them that you love them. Kobe, @kobeontheradio: Don’t sweat the small stuff, because in the end it really is all small stuff.
Paul Kelly, WWAC: Lessons In Love – Level 42. Hahaha Max Volume, KOZZ: It’s not what you make, it’s what your overhead is. |
Heather Deluca, WSJO: Think before you speak. Jonathan Reed, WNOK: I wouldn’t say I cherish it but that the fact that everything in life is temporary.
Chris Michaels, FM100:Never stop learning! You are always learning something new! Jammer, B97: Never give up! Jonathan Reed, WNOK: It’s interesting when you open yourself up and communicate, the people who will come into your life and the people you grow closer with. The friends that you will make. Mike “OD” O’Donnell, WKRZ: Listen before you speak (and I’m still always reminding myself of that). It’s made me a better programmer over the years.
Jason Lachance, Stephens Media Group: Life doesn’t meet you halfway. |
Frankie V, KSSX: Be a good person. So cliché. I know. But my parents instilled that on me as a kid. You can’t control a lot in life. In a career. In anything. But you can control how you treat people!
R Dub! Z90: The Golden Rule! And one I learned most recently: “Don’t let the poor actions of others change your character.”
Valentine, WBHT: Focus on what you can control and let go of the things you cannot.
Orlando, WLLD: “I don’t care who gets the laugh, just as long as it’s on my show” ~ Jack Benny
Jon Zellner, iHeartMedia: Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
Kevin Kash, WWEG / WIYY: Keep positive thoughts and goals. Be grateful for what you do have.
Alex Tear, SiriusXM / Pandora: Recently I’ve gravitated to two lessons/quotes I’m really fond of. Dr Seuss: To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world. Lou Holtz: You’ll never get ahead as long as you’re trying to get even
Rick Vaughn, KENZ: Find reasons to take action, throw out the reasons not to. Your health is your greatest asset. Follow in your kids’ footsteps often.
Justin Chase, Beasley Media Group: My former boss and early mentor Tom Humm (now with Lotus Broadcasting in Las Vegas) told me, “You will be remembered most for moving people forward.” At the end of my career and life, I hope that my friends/family/co-workers think of me as someone who helped them achieve some measure of success.Next Week’s Question Of The Week:
