Quotes of the Week from Me:

“Embrace constructive criticism. It is one way of contributing to your future success.”

“We made it another week. I made it another week. You made it another week. Try to make it to another week.”

“You will never learn, or master, every skill. Surround yourself with the best people you can find.”

I’ve heard people say, “Surround yourself with the right people.” I don’t think that is the best phrasing. What is the right person? Find the best ones, sometimes they will be right, sometimes wrong, but hopefully mostly honest.

Question of the Week:

What have you learned this week?

Some people care. Some don’t. Challenging yourself is important. But so is relaxation. Fight for what you believe in. Fight against what you don’t.

Learn along the way.

Few make it happen, but those who are able to align themselves with the waves of contradiction in their lives, benefit the most from their commitment to each option as they come and go.
