Be Like a Duck

Motivational Power Quote

Be Like a Duck

“Always behave like a duck – keep calm an unruffled

on the surface but paddle like the devil underneath.”

Jacob Braude, Circuit Court Judge

   

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Be like a duck

When you see a duck on the rainy days you will see that the rain . . . . is beading and running off the ducks back. You need to be like that duck. When you encounter those rainy days in your life . . . . you need to allow the rain to bead and roll off your back and focus on solutions.

You will also notice that the duck seems to be gliding smoothly through the water with a sense of ease. What we don’t see is . . . . how hard the duck is paddling under the water surface to go forward.

Some days you are going to have paddle as hard as you can to make progress and to go forward.

You have to remain calm when you are navigating the turbulence that you have encountered. When you lose your composure and become disheveled . . . . you lose focus on the issues. Instead making progress you paddle around in circles without a real purpose or progress.

Be like a duck and once you set your course paddle like the devil to get there.
