We Will (We Will) ROCK YOU!

We are the Champions!

Today I heard the 1970's rock anthem, We will Rock You! by Queen...I don't know if that is the actual title, but we all know the song. We all know and love the song, but can you imagine the risk that Queen took by recording that song...WOW! I can't even imagine how that might have gotten started...

Ok, so Freddy Mercury comes in and says..."Hey guys, I know we all have incredible voices and musical talent...what do you say we stomp our feet, clap our hands and yell, in unison...instead of the usual stuff?"

It could have easily gone the other way. The song could have been a huge flop...people could have hated it...but it didn't matter to these guys...they committed to a concept and they stuck to their guns and you know what? It paid off...>HUGE!

Let that be a lesson in risk. When you think that you are going to be judged harshly, have the internal fortitude to stick it out regardless of what people may think...

Every time you hear that famous song by Queen, just think of how risky it was, and furthermore, how much it paid off for them to take that risk.

We are all going to arrive safely at death, so you might as well kick ass and take names while you are here so that you can slide into the plate and at the end of your life say..."Wow! That was a blast! I wouldn't change a thing!"

Later...Rob
