Random Quote....
Watch your thoughts, for they become words
Watch your words, for they become actions
Watch your actions, for they become habits,
Watch your habits, for they become character
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny...

Shoot for the moon and hope to land on a star....Or at least beside one. :)
"No." It's the word that so many people dread hearing when asking for something they really want. Then again, it could be the word you're glad you heard. A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to meet singer/writer/producer/actor (long list huh?) Montell Jordan. Being a journalism major, I decided to ask for an interview. I expected to hear no, but surprisingly I got a yes. (Yay!) This stuff doesn't happen to me. (Not Kam!) The interview was scheduled for Sept. 20, 2008 which also happened to be the same day he was giving a free concert for Gift Fest 08, in Columbia, Tennessee. To make a long story short, I did not get my interview due to his tight schedule. However, I did get to work his merchandising table while he signed autographs after his concert. I never realized how hectic a celeb's life is until I got to see it from behind the scenes. Television doesn't show you the half of it!
Although I didn't get the interview that I so badly wanted, I did get the opportunity to work with him and experience something that I otherwise would not have. (Oh, I got pictures and an autograph and all that good stuff too.) The bottom line is, "No" is the word that kept me away from the dreaded question of "What if?" If I didn't ask, I would probably still be wondering "What would have happened if I had asked?" So the next time you want something, ask for it. Especially if "no" is the worst they can tell you.
