NMM:

This is from Tesla’s heart. I got it thinking about the German General surrendering to E Company in Band of Brothers. It really grabs me every time I see it. Because it’s about struggle, brotherhood and love. So it goes like this for me as I said that morning:

Men its been a hard year but it it’s been a good year. We ‘ve all gone through struggles but we’ve been there for each other. You have been here for me and I try to be there for you. When I talk about the 4th quarter it’s all about giving it that last push it takes to finish. That last slalom turn or that last push up the hill on triple nickel is important. Because if you do that you’ll write that last email at work and get something done or make that last call to a customer or even a subordinate – and they’ll remember it. Or you’ll stop at the store for your M or your 2.0s. Or make that phone call to an old friend you’ve been thinking about – or go see him and you’ll find out he needed it- and so did you. But it’s that last act that gets it done. And you have it in you. Its what we’re about out here. And it frankly saved me this year. And we can save a lot of folks by being that example. Let’s do it!
