Fear of failure is not what keeps you from being successful

It is not the fear of failure that keeps a person from succeeding, but rather the fear of succeeding that stops them from ever attempting to achieve success. We worry about standing out in a crowd. We worry about how we are viewed by our peers. We live in fear of setting a standard that is so high that the work or contributions of those around us may inadvertently look less significant. We are so concerned about fitting in that we sell ourselves short....Read the rest of this week's discussion on Excellence and leave comments on his Blog.

"I went to sick call this week with a fractured ankle on crutches that I'm not quite used to using as of yet. Dr. Liu, my PCM, took time out of his schedule to help me to the pharmacy via wheelchair. Then he pushed me to my car via wheelchair. WOW!!! A Doctor!!!! Humility and Kindness makes a lasting impression. Thanks a bunch!"
CRDAMC - Emergency Department (Bldg 36000)
ICE comment: 20 Mar
"I recently went to the ER with chest pains and was very impressed with the customer service that I received while there. I felt that everyone from the front desk staff to the triage nurse and my doctor were all concerned about my condition. The Triage nurse, Kim, even took some time to talk to me about how my current level of stress and how that may be negatively impacting my health. I was very impressed with the time and care that the staff took for me. Not once did I feel rushed or like "just another patient." Thanks ER staff for making a stressful situation as pleasant as possible for my family and I."
CRDAMC - Russell Collier Health Clinic (formerly West Fort Hood Clinic) (Bldg 94043)

"Proivder D Sherrill gave me excellent service. She went above and beyond to help me. As she was on her way out the door,the pharmacist stopped her and asked if she could correct her refill information. She did (even though) she was leaving for Deploymemt the next day. This is excellent customer service. Thank you."

"Ms. Bonin, phlebotomist, provided excellent patient care to my 12yr old daughter. Ms. Roni Bonin was very professional and friendly. My daughter was scare to get blood drawn before going inside the lab, but thanks to Ms. Bonin, her fears of getting blood drawn have improved. She had a positive experience, which changed her negative thoughts about getting blood drawn"

"3S wing is very professional, courteous, and gentle to the patients that are with them in their time of recovery. Keep up the good work. LT Gardea was the best nurse from the time that I got here. She was very helpful especially considering the circumstances of my situation. She did everything she could to ensure I was very comfortable. The 3S wing is awesome. They made my stay very comfortable and they were sensitive to my needs."
