Lessons Learned and Observations from the first 60 Years

The first day of retirement is really cool.

Anything is possible it's just a matter of time, bucks and creative minds.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

You accomplish more and get more satisfaction out of life it you approach it from a "how I can" rather than a "why I can't" point of view.

There is something to be learned from every bad experience; sometimes it takes years; and some of it I will never figure out - but I will always know it is there to be learned.

There is something I could have done differently to make bad experiences less bad, but sometimes the price would have been too high.

Never sacrifice personal integrity, at the end of the day that is all that you have.

There have been no perfect parents and I won't be the first one.

When the environment becomes too inflexible for me to tolerate, it is time for me to change my environment.

Do the right thing for the right reason.

An absence of laughter stifles the creative mind.

For everything I have done there is someone out there who could have done it better, with a few notable exceptions.

I am intolerant of those things I perceive to be stupid, but when I keep an open mind occasionally discover my perceptions were wrong.

If I will remember something in ten years then it is probably important, everything else is not worth getting in an uproar about.

Life was easier when there were only 3 kinds of sneakers to choose among.

With hundreds of atheletic shoes to choose from, there is only one that comes in a narrow size with a high arch support. When there were only 3 choices, all three could be ordered narrow and all shoes came with arch support.
