Brian Williams' Mistake

Brian Williams' mistake of how a rocket propelled grenade (RPG) brought down the helicopter he was in opened up a wider audience to him. Williams has been sharing the incident since 2003. The NBC News anchor fessed up Wednesday that a few facts escaped his memory. The helicopter he had been reporting from was not brought down by a rocket propelled grenade.

Williams fell into debate from viewers, social media and households about the tale he has told for a dozen years. Williams' excused his mistake by not remembering a war time memory. His memory recalled "a mistake in recalling the events of 12 years ago."

Brian Williams' mistake shines a light on possible memory failure in other reporting. The controversy continues around Williams and Iraq, 2003, even after he sent apologies out from his broadcast chair.

Some viewers, critics and news enthusiasts have doubts about Williams' memory. People have expressed their opinions and poked fun on social media. Williams has been stirred into late night comedy.

Williams appeared on the "Late Show with David Letterman," to share the story in 2013. Williams recounts being hit. "Two of the four helicopters were hit" with ground fire. The helicopter Williams arrived in was hit with a "rocket propelled grenade and AK-47."

The courage Williams showed had Letterman saying, "I have to treat you now with a renewed respect." An ex-soldier offered a different account of the incident. He found something wrong with the facts and told it to The Post. He pointed out that Williams statements were false. 

"He wasn't shot at," the ex-soldier, Chris Simeone. Simeone was the pilot of the CH-47 helicpter Williams was on. The crew that transported Williams and his team deny that there was incoming fire, according to news reports.

Brian Williams mistake broke a fabric of trust? Should he be given the boot like critics suggest? Williams decided to "temporarily" move away from the "NBC Nightly News." There are rumors of Tom Brokaw wanting Williams fired.

 

Make the Choice

Make the choice begins with your decision to get "that job," de-clutter your life or find a hobby. The choice that fits your life leads to a happier you. It's just a matter of peeling away the fog of people, places or things that are wedged between you and moving forward. Often, it isn't easy to see beyond them, but you can do it.

Sit down. Take a relaxing breath. Prepare to scribble down notes. Decide what you want, and zero in on the obstacles preventing your success. A quality life demands small changes for happiness and success. 

Answer the following questions. What do I want? Job A or Job B? What's required to get the job? College courses? Applying for it? Sprinkle together what you need and then plan on when you'll get the job. Put aside time each day to work toward getting the job. Be honest with yourself. Is this the right job for me? Am I wasting my time? See yourself in the job. How is it? Get into the routine of seeing yourself in that job position. It gives you more incentive.

Life can become cluttered. Again, sit down. Jot down notes about your circumstances. Sometimes, an involvement with too many activities brings clutter and stress. Which activity has stopped being relaxing? The one(s) that isn't productive? Can your time be spent better, less stressful? Is there one or two wasting money? How about people who spread negative messages? The negativity from someone is pulling you on a downward spiral. 

Make the choice by stepping away from a stress-filled activity or person. A cluttering activity no longer feels right? Break free. Money wasting activities becomes a habit. The habit can be replaced. Take your time. Find an activity suitable. Perhaps, you may not want to replace the activity, but just have free time. It depends on your life-style.

Remember, habits are a routine, learned. It may take effort, but a habit can be changed. How do you change a habit? Simply, make the choice to do differently, better, move forward. Write notes to yourself about it. Place a reminder on the calendar. Paste notes to yourself on a desk, mirror or door for more incentive. Practice the new choice. It becomes easier each day.

A clear view to the hobby fitting your life-style tap dances over. You greet each other with open-arms, because people, places or things cluttering up your life has been removed. A better quality of life is enjoyed due to your choice.
