Are You as Unhappy as T.O.?
Anyone that has been with me during the fall season at anytime
in the past 40 years knows that I am a huge Philadelphia Eagles
fan. Sundays start early on TV with the Donovan McNabb show, the
Andy Reid show, ESPN pre-game, network pregame, the game itself
and then postgame live on Comcast for a few hours. Like...don't
call me on Sunday when the Eagles are playing. One of my biggest
thrills as a kid was suiting up with the Springfield Boys Club
and sitting in the endzone at old Franklin Field as the Eagles
played the Cowboys before our postgame scrimmage on a cold day
in 1966. Joe Scarpati won that game by stealing the ball right
out of the hands of Cowboys receiver, and the world's fastest
human, Bob Hayes late in the fourth quarter. I remember it like
it was yesterday.
This is the backdrop of my interest as I witnessed the latest
off-season whining from Terrell Owens, the Eagles receiver who
is unhappy with his 7 year, $49 million contract that he signed
just last year. However, I have a different perspective on TO's
"unhappiness" and it has little to do with money, respect,
security or any of the other crap he has been saying in the
press.
In his book The Four Agreements, author don Miguel Ruiz lists
four agreements we must make with ourselves and work towards to
be truly happy. These are:
Be impeccable with your word
Don't take anything personally
Don't make any assumptions
Always do your best
With this in mind, it is not hard to see why Terrell is really
unhappy. Be impeccable with your word? This means to be honest,
to say what you mean and mean what you say. Do not get involved
in gossip. Be precise with what you say. Did Terrell do this
when he said that
McNabb was a hypocrite and then later
retracted saying he said things he shouldn't have in the heat of
the moment? Don't take anything personally? Despite signing a
secure long term deal for top dollar, and despite the Eagles
going to bat last year and getting him out of a messy situation
with San Fran and the Ravens, Terrell thinks that because he
isn't getting the renegotiation he wants that the Eagles are
disrespecting him. Disrespect? All I've ever heard the coach and
front office is say is positive things about TO and how much he
is wanted and needed in Philadelphia. Although I do think that
TO's work ethic and results on the field do prove that he does
always do his best, I think he certainly has violated agreement
#3 and makes all kinds of assumptions about what he is worth and
what people think of him and what people mean when they say
certain things. So, again, it doesn't surprise me that TO is
unhappy.
How does this relate to you the small business owner? Well, as
stated before, the closer you can assimilate these agreements in
your everyday life, the happier you will be. Are you precise
with your speech? Do you take things personally or make
assumptions? Nothing anyone says or does is because of you. And
you should always have the courage to ask follow up questions if
you are unclear as to what someone means. And as your mom
probably told when you were a kid, "always do the best you can
do and be the best you can be".
