'Delivering the goods' like freshly squeezed OJ

Just read a blog post about how ‘delivering the goods’ aka being great in business, management, leadership, getting hired or keeping your job is like freshly squeezed Orange Juice... It goes for pretty much anybody.

Orange Juice represents getting that ongoing everyday enjoyment from something, even though it is the same thing over and over again, day in and day out. It’s great. It works. It delivers. It does the job. It’s perfect.

Do you deliver the goods the way real freshly squeezed orange juice does?
  • It always delivers on the promise
  • It’s honest-to-goodness real thing
  • It does the job perfectly every time
  • It serves a purpose and fulfills a need
  • It’s best when present - past success is no guarantee of future results 
  • It’s best when on time - every day delivery keeps them coming back
  • It’s best freshly squeezed, not frozen, diluted or in any way diminished
  • If it’s great in one situation, it won’t necessarily be great in another setting 
  • It’s widely accepted in every country and city 
  • It makes its mark on the w-o-r-l-d.  
  • It's consistent, day in, day out.
  • It can be enjoyed everyday!

Think of yourself, your staff, your product, your company as having the qualities and value of orange juice! Set your sights, lock in our trajectory, and set off to deliver the goods like freshly squeezed OJ.

They got me so emotional!

This performance group acted out the life stories of a couple of women through abstraction, mostly movement... man-oh-man, I had to bite my lip, think of other things and so forth, but the emotions they stirred in me was almost over-powering... others in the audience also felt that way. It is something about the performing arts that catches you so off guard, there's no scope for hiding from or becoming comfortably numb to it. It makes me wonder, are those the emotions we should be feeling about everyday tragedies around us, rather than just shrugging it off as we need to get on with our lives?
