It's all being part of a team. But also, you had to deliver yourself." "It (Winter Classic) was a spectacle. It was no kidding a Super Bowl-level event. The capitals ended up winning the game. The gold medal curlers pushed the puck out to center ice on a stone; it landed right in the middle of center ice, and then I got to take the puck off the stone and drop the puck." "I looked at the honor concept as it was written when I took over as superintendent, and I realized that it was a need of something, maybe to be more modernized so it would resonate with the Midshipman of today." "We are such a centerpiece of the entire state of Nebraska. I mean, I talked about, you know, being in the public eye when I was a superintendent, the Naval Academy, this is to that level, and maybe even a little bit more. I mean, Nebraska is an agricultural state. 90% of the entire landmass is farmland or ranches. So that is the number one economic driver of the entire state, but a close second is the University." "We very well could get to a point where we're launching airplanes off of an aircraft carrier, somewhere in the Indian Ocean, or the South Pacific and tankers, and many of the missions that had historically had pilots and naval flight officers in it may not be there." "You got to be ready for your moment. And don't shy from it; take it." "One of the things I've learned is that no matter who you come in contact with, you got to treat everybody fairly with dignity and respect and never underestimate anybody." --Follow Walter "Ted" Carter here: Twitter: https://twitter.com/UofNE_President LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/waltertedcarter/ University of Nebraska: https://nebraska.edu/president NHL Winter Classic: https://www.nhl.com/news/stadium-series-at-navy-marine-corps-memorial-stadium-will-bring-pageantry/c-296376666 --Follow Passion Struck on Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/passion_struck_podcast/ -- Navy veteran, multi-industry CEO, and Author John R.

"Figure out what is most important to you, not what others think not what others are doing, not what others are telling you." "You have control over your life, your choices, how you allocate your time, and what you give it to." " I think the underlying assumption when it comes to Time management is that for every activity you engage in, you are by default, giving up the ability to engage in every other possible activity. And, that is where so many get stuck." "In essence, I think rather than a time allocation problem, what most people face is a prioritization problem."

Learn how you too can apply the law of attraction to fast-track your journey to becoming passion-struck. Enjoy!! Quotes from the show about how you can apply the law of attraction "If you are experiencing negativity in your life and constant thoughts of negativity, then what the universe is going to give you is more negativity." "When you can master the law of attraction. You can utilize your memories, your thoughts, your actions, your mindset to take on those things in your life that you would like to achieve." "The law of attraction says that you will attract those things in your life that match your values and your emotional state." "When your mind is on fixed mindset, negative outcomes, doom, and gloom, what do you think you're going to get in your life? -- more and more of the same." -Follow Passion Struck on Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/passion_struck_podcast -- Combat veteran, multi-industry CEO, and Author John R.
