No Ego

Posted on October 14, 2025

If you could work incredibly hard for 10 years, and sacrifice significantly, to create lasting world peace and prosperity for everyone, but you would get no credit for any of it, and die in obscurity, would you do it?

Can you do a good deed without telling anyone at some point what you did?

Can you succeed at something yet not signal your achievement, or seek recognition?

Ego can drive us forward, to achieve great things, but it can also hinder many people. Healthy sharing of your success is one thing, though demanding attention for it is another. It’s often a fine line, and if you remove your bias, sometimes you’ll be able to see it.

Stay In Touch

Posted on October 4, 2025

Keep friends in your life. Stay in touch. Sometimes this can be a few times a year and for others it may be more frequently. Either way, a quick text here and a brief call there all add up to a stronger relationship as the years go by.

Decide To Be In Awe

Posted on October 3, 2025

Decide to be in awe of the world around us. As I look around the room, I am grateful for all of the people who conceived of all the products I can see.

In addition, I am grateful for all of the people, I will never know or meet, who financed these products through R&D and manufacture. And finally, I’m grateful to all of the people who worked in the companies, the supply chains, and the delivery units, that enabled these products to surround me in this room.

Sure, I went out and bought these items, so the effort doesn’t seem that incredible. However, the whole idea of each one of these products began years before I decided it was a product I needed and was willing to spend my hard earned money on.

Just think about all the sourcing of the raw materials that went into a plug, a lamp, a painting, a wood carving, a table, a ceiling fan, bedsheets, and a pen.

When you stop and think about all of this, it is really hard not to be in awe of the world we live in.

Be Thankful For Great Friends

Posted on September 28, 2025

It’s as simple as that. If you’ve got some great friends, be sure to appreciate them. They can be few and far between.

If you don’t have great friends, make it your mission to find a few over the next couple of years. They’ll be great to grow older with.
