The summer after my freshman year of college, I read a book called Nickel and Dimed, whichis the story of how Barbara Ehrenreich basically went out to show that the American Dream isdead. I resented her attitude as well written as her book was and decided that I wanted to livea social experiment of my own to see if there was any vitality to the American Dream. I put everything on hold while I finished college and went to play professional basketball overseas. My hoops career in Germany lasted about 3. I shot 2 for 2. I reasoned that the bestthing for me to do was live this project I had been delaying. The premise of the project wasfor me to start in a random city with 2. Jet Tools Auburn Washington. Introduction, and see if, in one year, I could have 2. The Life And Art Of Albrecht Durer Pdf. Tome, that was the idea of living the American Dream. What city did you choose Charleston, SCHow did you go about selecting Charleston I had 1. Mobile, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, Savannah, Nashville,Columbia, various cities in Virginia, among others, and the idea was that I would pick one outon Monday and hop a train on Tuesday. What was your initial experienceI got anxious very quickly. I didnt have a plan or a route to cover. And I certainly didnt plan onarriving in the dilapidated neighborhood that I did. It was a very nave experience, and the firstchapter shows how grossly unprepared I was. What was it like trying to break into the job market from your starting point at the homeless shelter Challenging. I had a vision on how I thought this was going to turn out and it didnt go the way Iintended at all. Ill tell you what was interesting. After ten days or so, I didnt have a job, and I was complainingone night about the job market and this and that. There was this one guy at the shelter where Iwas stayingPhil Colemanwho chimed in and told me what he thought about my little plight. His pitch to me and anyone who was listening was very matter of fact if you want a job, you have to take control and get out there and get after it. Every time I speak to a high school orcollege or association or corporation, I always read the excerpt about Phils appeal to me. A lot of people have made a difference in my life. Steve Reibstein, a golfing buddy of a friend ofmine, made a connection for me to get published. Phil Coleman, a homeless dude, lit a matchunder my butt that got me a job. You never know who is going to make a difference in your life. When you had setbacks, how did you get back on track That was the ultimate challenge. I broke my toe. I got sick. I got into a vicious fight, and I dontthink I got in a single blow. But every time I hit a roadblock, I just figured, Hell, it could beworse, and that helped me to remember what I was doing in Charleston in the first place, that. I had a goal and that nothing was going to get in my way. What were the most valuable lessons you learned from the other working class individuals around you It was fascinating, most of all, for me to see the work ethic represented by my peers atthe moving company where I ended up working for the duration of my time in Charleston. Some guys were sluggish and whiny and would come into work a few minutes late with theirshirts untucked. Other guys came in with a mission. Derrick, for example, was the hardestworking guy Ive ever met in my life. Think about it he wasnt born and held to the moon anddetermined to one day be a mover in his life, but now, here he is, and he has plotted that he isgoing to be the best mover on the planet, regardless of his height or strength or athleticism. Some attitudes differed from others, and that, I discovered, was the dividing factor betweensomeone who was making it and someone who wasnt. What was your interaction like with the people you worked forWhat did you do to find value and fulfillment in such difficult physical work The interaction with my coworkers was mixed some people liked me some didnt. Derrick,thankfully, didnt care that I was goofy with my floppy hair and daisy duke shorts. All he caredabout was the fact that I worked hard and kept my mouth shut, and, thankfully, he took meunder his wing. The management of the company was happy to have me on the team because I didnt createconfrontation and I was accountable. They knew that I would be to work on time, that I wouldwork hard, and that I would take responsibility when I rammed a dresser into a wall. Their onlyconcern sometimes, to their detriment was the bottom line. Finding value in physical work has always been easy for me. Growing up, I looked over a freshly cut lawn, and, regardless of how much I got paid for it, I felt satisfaction in knowing that it looked and smelled better as a result of the work I put in. Moving furniture brought the same feeling. Unloading a full truck and placing furniture into an empty house, as grueling as it was, became one of my top three or four most fulfilling, joyous accomplishments. Seriously. When you walk through a freshly furnished house and think, I did that, there is a special feeling. You spent quite a bit of time analyzing how other people around you worked and lived their lives. What did you find to be the most common distinguishing factor between those who succeeded and those who failed As I said, attitude was the separation. Good things are going to happen to us bad things aregoing to happen to us. The only thing we can control is how we react to both the good and thebad. Are we resilient Do we capitalize on the good and deal properly with the badPut yourself in the shoes of Curtis at Fast Company, or anyone else making the decision to hire someone like you. What would you do to identify and attract A players like you or Derrick While avoiding potential problem hires I just finished reading the book Click. There is a lot to be said about initial, gut feel for a person,whether it is professional, social, romantic, or otherwise. Curtis pulled my application out of. I was telling him. Im not going to pretend to step into the shoes of an HR manager, but I think its notso difficult to acknowledge your visceral feeling, that this person sitting across from you is goingto do good things for your company or not.
