Words of Wisdom from Chad Davis

For the past four years I worked for one of the smartest, hardest working individuals I have ever met.  He didn't take shit from anyone and he most certainly never gave up on anything.  While working together he would counsel individuals who needed his guidance and just about every single week (if not day) there was at least one person who wanted to quit or give up.  Since Chad Davis doesn't believe in quitting or giving up, he wasn't about to nurture these feelings the individual had and allow them to quit.  He considered himself the "motivation officer" of our company.  Chad would continuously tell these people that, "if you quit today, you are setting a precedence for the rest of your life".  Some people see it, and some people don't.  That precedence that they were attempting to set was that of quitting when it starts to get tough.  I say that to say this, everybody is going to encounter something, someone or some situation that is unpleasant...if you quit, avoid or run away from these instances, you always will.  At some point you have to pull up your skirt, grab your nuts and say, "f-it", let's get it done.  If you don't you will always be a doormat and the dreams you want to achieve will be just that...dreams.
