"Notes" of An Elder

Everybody wants to be paid, but not everybody wants to do the work.

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.

  • Listening, learning, and sharing experiences are critical factors that influence our success.

  • Be present in the moment, but be a long-term thinker.

  • Daily, we must feed our body, mind, and soul.

  • Despite how frequently we use emails, greatness will not be achieved by its use. Never devalue the importance of Facetime.

  • Many of us define success as money, power, and fame. I view success as being the best possible "You" that you can be.

  • For me, intelligence starts with this expression, "I don't know, I need help."

The Power of Words

  • The most important words you can say to a person are: I believe in you.

  • Be somebody that makes everybody feel like somebody.

  • Hope is a refusal to give up.

  • Respect yourself. You have the right to be on earth, and you have important work to do.

  • Everybody wants to be paid, but not everybody wants to do the work.

  • Someone asked me the other day, "What do you think is the greatest danger in the world today?" My response was, "Indifference."

  • Most of life's greatest achievements were done against a background of jeers ― with individuals saying it couldn't be done. Each of us must be stubbornly persistent to win.

  • Find out what it is that you have to give the world and then give it with your heart, soul, mind, and strength.
