Tired of the Rockstar Getting all the Glory?

On Saturday I had the rockstar trenching guy come and spend an hour digging about 40 metres of trenching (it saved me a stack of hard work digging rock hard clay).

I then spent the next 5 hours laying the pipes, running cables and conduit, testing everything worked, and then burying it all. Mind you it was 32C as I was doing this. (you can tell how hot it is by looking at the tank in the photo. The radiant heat makes it look all wobbly!) I did a stack of hard work yet the trenching dude was the most impressive.

It made me think of the number of times one or two people get all the credit (the rock stars) yet there were so many people doing a stack of hard work to achieve the results gained.

In your workplace and your life, who are the people who continue to work tirelessly while the Rock Star gets the credit? In the events world, while the speakers get the credit, it is the eventprofs, the admin team, the AV crew, the back stage team, the security crew, the cleaners and even the humble MC who help bring the show together.

Make sure you are showing gratitude to those who are doing the work!

The Food of Love

I have been part of several celebrations over the past few weeks. It has been an absolute privilege to be part of them. Each one had music playing.

There have been several protests around the world recently as people are fighting for a better world and a better life. Each on had music playing (even if that music was their own voices)

There have been vigils around the world as people come together to support each other in hard and tragic times. Each one had music playing (either in the background or sung together)

I have been to a few funerals of late, celebrating the life and love of those who had passed. Each one had music playing.

Music has always been an important part of my life. So many songs trigger memories I thought I had lost. So many songs remind me of special people and moments in my life. So many songs lift my heart with joy.

Shakespeare got it so right in his play, 12th Night. "If music be the food of love, play on."

When you need some love to deal with the pressure of work, the failings of the world, to consider your future, or to just feel better, get out those songs that give you joy and love. Play them. Play them loud. Play them often.

Play on!
