For your consideration.


 

As I approach a milestone birthday, my children asked me to list the five life lessons that mean the most to me.  This was my response. 

 

  • Reputation is what others think of you.  Character is who you really are.  Build character! 

 

  • No cemetery has a gravestone that says ‘...I wish I spent more time on my job...’ Family and friends are the ones who sacrifice when you choose to work rather than nurture your relationships with them.  Choose wisely. 

 

  • We all make mistakes.  Be slow to judge and quick to forgive.  Life is way too short to carry anger. 

 

  • Set your standards high and resist the temptation to lower them when your efforts to achieve them face challenges.  

 

  • Measure twice and cut once.  Or hire someone who can! None of us is great at everything so focus on what you do best!
