"Notes" of An Elder

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.

• When I get up in the morning, the first thing I do is sit on the side of the bed and I give myself these two choices: you can either be happy or you can be very happy.

• The most important conversations that we can have on a daily basis are the conversations that we have with ourselves.

• At the end of the day when you go to bed, the fundamental question I ask myself, what did I do today to make myself a better person than I was yesterday?

• I think those people who live their lives strategically, their personal and professional lives strategically, have a hugeadvantage over the rest of the population.

• Strive to do things that energize you. Constantly ask yourself why? And then try to find out the answer to that why.

• The people who understand where the world is going are young people. And I find out that young people are my best mentors right now.

3 Essential Questions

The three most relevant questions everybody has to grapple with in their life:

1. Who am I?

2. Why am I on Earth?

3. What is it that I have to contribute in life?

• Every 5 to 10 years, we have to reinvent ourselves.

• Life is not about money. Life is about the positive experiences that you have.

• Spend less time trying to meet other people's expectations because most time other people's expectations are going to be in conflict with your expectations.

• It's the greatest time in the world to live right now. Every day in our lives is packed with insurmountable opportunities for personal growth.

• I think we've lost our sense of responsibility to the whole person. I think we spend too much time allowing kids to feel that the greatest values are money and material and collecting things.

• The most important validation is what you think of yourself. It's not what other people think of you.
