Teach to learn

Written on a napkin at a restaurant while traveling a few months ago, the top ten secrets of highly effective leaders:

  1. read a lot
  2. show up early
  3. stay late
  4. laugh
  5. go the extra inch
  6. see the future
  7. okay with gray
  8. fear less (fearless)
  9. fearful (of mediocrity, of complacency, of competition)
  10. they teach
  11. they add value (more than expected)
  12. their workday begins the night before
  13. they’d do it (lead) for free

.

To teach is to learn twice.

Excuses trump passion

We are all born with a society-enhancing purpose. Most fail because excuses trump passion.

Congratulations Dennis and a Mickey Mouse head chalk message for a brand new Disney retiree. He’ll see it when he leaves.

The best six doctors anywhere. And no one can deny it are sunshine, water, rest, air, exercise and diet. These six will gladly you attend if only you are willing. Your mind they’ll ease. Your will they’ll mend. And charge you not a shilling.

Work healthy?

man in mountains
September 2020.
