A father shares a story about playing Connect 4 with his son John Leslie to show what happens when you keep trying instead of giving up. The video explores how a simple attitude shift changes everything.
I remember I was playing a game with my 9 year old son John Leslie and I beat him 10 straight games in a game called Connect 4. And finally I said John Leslie, I'm bored, I don't want to play you anymore. And I got up, I said I'm ready to go to sleep now. John Leslie said no, you can't go now dad. I said why? He said it's not over until I win. That was his attitude. We sat down and we played several other games and finally after the 11th game John Leslie won and he got up and, and he yawned and he said I'm ready to go to sleep now. And I'm saying to you, what if all of us took that attitude after we face a rejection and a no or we have a meeting and no one shows up or somebody said you can count on me and they don't come through.
