Seven dollars is all i need

In small print, just below the circle with $4,993, is the reminder how close i am to having Delta Silver status. This will be the first time in a decade. Have enjoyed not having status with any airline for a decade.

i love traveling. i hate being gone.

dad

Tomorrow’s trip to Australia is a hybrid.

It will not be travel that makes me gone from family.

Cheryl and i travel together to visit our Son.

However.

It’s a three-week trip.

It is not Glacier.

Have already talked to Cheryl about coming home after two weeks.

Time will tell.

Career mediocrity

Mountains from a summit
Nathan also took this photo on the walk to Iceberg Peak where they were sitting in the previous photo. One of my favorite places in the world, Swiftcurrent, fire tower, Is in the center.

Good enough for government work.

Mediocrates

Career mediocrity flourishes if we never discover our purpose. Or, when we slowly get bored with our purpose and drift away, uncaringly.

What you owe the world

Tray table on a first class lunch
Lunch yesterday in Air Canada’s First Class Cabin was chicken parmesan and a Caesar salad with carrot cake. And i had a glass of red wine to go with the Italian theme.

You owe the world nothing.

dad

When your expectations are exceeded, remember how you feel. Strive to be an “exceeds expectations” factory.

dad

It’s easy to consistently exceed people’s expectations.

How?

Go the extra inch.

Ps. The universe doesn’t care, but it does feel the karmic energy that you put out into it. And the universe appreciates all the good energy. The Universe also looks, with disdain, on any negative energy you offer.

Why?

Honestly, i don’t know. But i want to believe that even the Universe doesn’t like a complainer.

Satisfaction is dangerous.

dad

Customer satisfaction.

Employee satisfaction.

Patient satisfaction.

Is satisfaction dangerous?

Yes!

Guilty on all three dogmatic business goals.
