"Notes" of An Elder

Be and stay teachable. You're not always right.

Nothing in life is of any value unless it is shared with others.

"Notes" of An Elder is a depository of pertinent information, knowledge and wisdom. Available weekly will be an elder's "thinking menu" for your use. Enjoy this bounty.

  • Say thank you to the universe for all the good in your life that you do not know about yet.

  • Your circle should be proud of your success, not jealous.

  • Some people are only loyal to you in front of you.

  • Delete everything in your mind that is not moving you forward.

  • Risk is the price you pay for opportunity.

  • Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

  • Be and stay teachable. You're not always right.

  • "Every great institution is the lengthened shadow of a single person. Their character determines the character of the organization." — Ralph Waldo Emerson
