Some are good and some are bad. Some can be helpful to have and others are less so. As per usual, it depends.

Life’s A Beach
It can be simple. Just you and nature. Au naturel. Or you can add swimsuits, SeaDoos, picnics, noodles, diving board, slide, and a boat. Just like in life, you can always add more. Yet, when is enough, enough? Appreciate the simple things and you’ll love what you have.
Life Is Fast Paced
Do try to keep up!! Even when you’re resting, it’s moving at incredible speed. Take a deep breath, gather your thoughts and get back in there!
Some Things Flow Well
Sometimes you’ll notice how well things are flowing, like traffic, an airport, or even your thoughts. And other times you’ll notice that it seems like you’re swimming upstream, going against the flow, or struggling to get traction. Aim for flow, as a producer or consumer, because everyone will benefit.
Non-Standard Items
There seems to be a tendency to do things our own way, as individuals, or in companies. This makes things unique and interesting. Though it can also make things inefficient and difficult. Non-standard items such as electrical plugs, rail gauge and forms could be addressed soon, for efficiencies sake.
Customer Service
Yikes. Some is terrible. Though some are really great. Today, however a bank/credit card company and a car rental company have been so very painful. I don’t recall ever being engaged for so long and walking away with such little progress. Some companies need to be reminded that our time is more valuable than their cost efficiencies.
Ask Questions
The easiest way to get a conversation going is to ask questions. Some of those questions they will want to answer in greater detail. Note which those are. Ask more questions in that direction. Then sit back, listen and learn.
What’s Fun For You?
Do you enjoy card games or roller skating? Some people prefer sports and others like reading. You can get a thrill from high octane adventures or lie listlessly near a river enjoying the heat and watching clouds drift by. What’s your favourite way to have fun?
Play, But How Far?
Survivors and especially more successful people may be more forgiving than others. Since they made it through life, they may let their kids take even greater chances. They may be less strict, more lenient, forgiving or even lax. That could be a good thing. But without some decent discipline, you’re setting them up to fail.
The Prep And The Event
You prep to pitch so you can win the right to host the Olympics. Then if you win the right to host, you prep for 8 years so you can do a great job. There is a lot of prep to host a few weeks of sporting competitions. And then it is all gone but for the memories. So much of life is the same process: idea, pre-prep, prep, brief event and memories. From a holiday, to a job, education or a marriage, a similar pattern plays out.
