They Grow Up Fast

At dinner tonight I sat near a mom and her three young children. Next to them were two men - a middle-aged man and his elderly father. I watched both families. I wanted to tell the young lady that they grow up fast and not to take a single minute for granted. I wanted to see if I could learn anything from the son and his father. I could give the mom some advice because my baby is 21. I could not offer the son any advice because I am just starting down that road of caring for aging parents. I don't know where you are in life. I do know there are some things that will make life easier. These things have made life better for me. See if they might work for you. Spend less than you make. Avoid debt like it is a disease. Save some money and give some away. Deal with the negative, but don't be consumed by it. Look for the positive in every situation. Fight through adversity. This is a different world than it used to be. Things are changing. You have to be able to change with it. Be flexible. Don't ever stop learning. Focus heavily on your people skills. We are living in the age of technology, but you still have to deal with people. Use technology, love people. Communicate. Don't take anything for granted. Ever. Live your life to the fullest. Today's Winning Thought: All of the above.
