This is the second time I hired you to speak to our
people. That speaks of my high confidence in you,
your style and your message. That also speaks of my

Because our business is built on relationships, I

principles. You showed them how. You challenged
them to get involved.
Most importantly, you demonstrated that despite the

fun at what you do. That makes it so easy for your

importance of being focused, of feeling proud about

Canadian Books
George Torok has been quoted in several other
Canadian books by Canadian authors. One of his highest
acknowledgements was to be recognized by Canada’s great
author and editor – John Robert Colombo. John Robert
Colombo is considered Canada’s most prolific author.
Colombo has been called a Canadian national treasure. He
is the author or editor of over 150 books and is a member
of the Order of Canada. John Robert Colombo writes about
Canadian motivational giants.
A sampling of the quotes from George Torok included
in Colombo’s quote book;
“As my grandfather used to say, ‘You can do
anything you want but you can’t do everything you
want.”
“Mountain climbers will scale a mountain because
‘it is there’. Why don’t teenagers clean the mess
in their room for the same reason?”
“Anyone can manage when things go right. It takes a
leader to take charge when things go wrong.”
“There are three types of meetings – boring,
complete waste of time and postponed.”
What's motivational about
running marathons?
George Torok
knows the pain of quitting and the embarassment of not
measuring up. In high school he failed to make the football
team so he ended up on the track team. That led him to the
cross country team. They were the geeks of the track team.
George Torok dropped out of his first high school race. It
was a six-mile race. Thirty years later he completed his
first marathon - 26 miles. Since then he has completed two
full marathons and five 30-k races. So what's motivational
about running marathons? Crossing the finish
line.
