TommyLog – Jealous People Suck

tommytrc — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 19:07:08 +0000

Why can’t people just be happy for others successes? I’m dealing with some serious losers in the area who are just so darn jealous of the success of others. Their bitterness and lengths they will go to to cut others down.. stunning. How can people harbor such feelings of ill will for someone else?

One way other another they will get theirs, just remember kids, what goes around comes around!

Today marks the first day of school for Madeline, Clara and Tommy. How great it is to see their excitement and joy of learning. Clara is also on the cross country team. How fun for her. last night I had the opportunity to see and be a part of the return flight of the Old Glory Honor Flight. Almost 1000 people cam to ATW to see these vets return from their day in Washington DC. What an honor to pay tribute to such valiant servicemen and women.

Tommy talks about the little things in life that make life so great. A small note or smile or handshake can really make a difference. Hand written thank you notes make a difference too. Its pretty amazing the impact of the little things.

Tommy talks about just being happy. Enjoying what you have and being happy if others excel or have things you do not have. Just be happy with what you have and don’t worry about what you don’t have. Happiness starts from within.

TommyLog – My Day @ Extreme Makeover Home Edition #emhewi

I had to the opportunity to be part of the build for the Extreme makeover – Home Edition build in Neenah, WI and to say it was a humbling experience would be an understatement. This is my raw footage of all the action as it happened. 20,000 volunteers over the course of a week, 200 at a time on the build site alone. What an amazing community building opportunity. The president of Lexington homes, Jeff Marlow worked tirelessly all day drumming up donations to pay off the mortgage for the Arboleda family. They can take the credentials away from me, but they can never take the experience away!

TommyLog – Extreme Makover – Home Edition; Haters #emhewi

Tommy talks to all the cowardly people in the newspapers who hide behind their avatars and leave vile and venom filled comments regarding the Arboleda family who was selected as an Extreme Makeover Home edition recipient. These comments are just terrible. From wanting to know what they did to deserve this to pointing fingers at how big their family is and it’s their fault for having so many kids to why not spend the money on other more deserving families. One person even said “he has a masters why not get a better job?” Is this really what this is all about? NO!!! It’s about making a dream come true. It’s about the community and coming together. How amazing is this for the people and town of Neenah. The exposure is wonderful and the good will, over the top awesome! Why can’t we all just be thankful for this family? Why can’t we all just love serving and helping others in need? Why must we cut down the process and chastise the family?
Can’t we just be happy for them? Remember kids… if life was fair, none of us would be there. Never forget that.

Sorry about the sound folks… all fixed! Tommy today talks about communication and the importance of having open channels of communication. The CEO was just in his office talking through things and its amazing he difference between this job and his old job at RRD. Tommy & Clara were in the Little Chute community play based on Alice in Wonderland. Tommy was a card and clara was a flower. Well done by all.

Well my phone has been ringing off the hook this am…ever since the news was released. The Vice President of Manufacturing for the RRD Menasha division put in his 2 weeks notice and is leaving to take his career in a teaching direction. WOW what message does this send to the plant as the main leader leaves so close to union contract negotiations…and who will fill his shoes? Good luck to him.
