Hi, this is Brian. Hi, this is Emerson. Welcome back to another Optimize plus one. We got our special visitor back. Hi, Emerson. In our last couple plus ones we've been having fun with Alden Mills and his big legs. We learned that the key to being unstoppable can be captured in the simple acronym you persist. As we munched on some reasons to believe in ourselves. Today I want to talk about another fun idea. We actually made it the ninth action in the Johnson house. Even Eleanor likes to shout it out loud. It's another acronym. What is it, buddy? Nagu Aru. Yeah, Nagu N e g u. Imagine our little almost two year old optimizer Eleanor shouting negoo Aru. Then aru. We have to add aru to it too with her six year old big brother. And you have a glimpse into the Johnson house. Naegoo, Naegoo. Naegoo, naegoo, naegoo. Yeah. Negu n e g u Never ever give up. Nagu Gu. Now, one of the reasons Emerson loved it so much was that Alden represented this handy dandy heroic mantra via a funny little statue in the book featuring a frog being eaten by a pelican dragon, but somehow reaching out of the pelican's mouth and grabbing it by the neck before it could eat him and choking it. Yeah, because he's not going to give up. Ridiculous. We know. But nay goo. That's today's +1. Little. P.S. here. Are there times when you should give up? Of course. But that's not the point of today's plus one. This is one more time. Say it with us.
