Everyone you work with has something to teach you, if you’re open to education…

 

Bill Middeke:   Bend the sound, blend the sound.

There’s always room for improvement.

A videographer is like a thoroughbred; give him his head and enjoy the race.

Do what you love; then cut it into an award-winning story.

 

Doug Balko:   The tripod is a videographer’s best friend.

Rob King:   Don’t be a slave to the tripod.

Chris Karpinski:   Everything in moderation but excellence.

 

Kathyn Bissen:  Tilt the shot up AND down. That way you have a choice when it comes time to edit.

John Goff:   If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

David W. Carlson:  What you do well is not necessarily who you are.

Your friends are more than just the people you “hang with” — they are also walking, talking life lessons…

 

Bill Petersen   A sense of humor is the greatest of all skills.

Life is music to the ears.

Friendships are hard to come by, but easy to lose.

Even funerals can be fun.

 

Craig Allen: When it comes to consumption, strive for below average; with environmentalism, run screaming from average.

Do better.

You don’t have to be perfect, just “flawed with a never-say-die attitude”

 

Scott Franke   No Matter how you try to run from the truth, it’s always faster.

The one constant in the universe is change.

The truth is often inconvenient.

What’s worth earning is worth keeping.

Ralph Nader:  Integrity is the purest expression of honesty.

You can’t dig up dirt in a clean kitchen.

In the service of justice, all men come clean.

To change the world you first have to risk change.

 

A man is trapped atop his house when a raging flood sweeps it into the swollen river, so he prays for God to save him. Soon thereafter a man in a canoe comes by and offers to give him a lift.

“No thanks,” says the man on the rooftop.

A bit later a houseboat pulls up. “Quick! Jump on,” says the houseboat captain.

“No thank you,” answers the man atop the floating house.

It’s not long before a motorboat rumbles up beside the house. “Climb down from there!” the motorboat driver shouts.

“Thanks, but no,”says the man on the roof, “I prayed to God for Him to save me!”

Within an hour the house sinks and the man drowns. When he arrives at Heaven’s gate he personally confronts God.

“Hey! What gives? I prayed for you to come save me, but you never came!”

“Whaddya mean?” God says. “I sent three boats!”

 

Just because you are a herd animal doesn’t mean you have to vote like one.

Make the world a better place to live in or live with the result.
