The Things I Learned from 1967-1972

  • Lying, particularly to build yourself up or protect your pride is a fool’s journey.
  • You can accomplish more than you know, just by putting yourself out there.
  • If you don’t pay attention to things going around you, you may miss a once in lifetime opportunity or experience.
  • Creating things with others can be rewarding and fun.
  • Certain jobs are not for everybody.
  • I don’t need booze, drugs, or cigarettes.
  • Sometimes the greatest events in your life occur very quietly with little no fanfare at the time.
  • Good things come in small packages.
  • Being different from everybody is okay.
  • Be with uplifting people who make you feel good about yourself.
  • Parents can play a big role in nurturing your talents and passions. They can also set an example. An example of what to do and be, and what not to do and be.
  • Always be true to your wife. A single misstep can ruin your life and others around you.
  • Sometimes there is a need to set up a plan, roll up your sleeves, and get to work.
  • Everything around you is temporary. Nothing is forever. Not me, not you. Nothing we perceive is permanent.
