I am just 4 months away from the 65th birthday. (I know it’s hard to believe – but it’s true :-)) As I reach yet another milestone in my life I thought it would be a good time to take stock of what I have come to know so far. This is my second installment.  They appear here in no particular order.

I have come to know:

• You don’t manage time – you manage your life so you have the time to do what is important to you.
• 90% of playing good golf takes place between your ears.
• Your attitude is 100% in your control. Only you get to decide how you want to react.
• Assume nothing
• Cats are somewhat manageable
• Kindness is reciprocal. If you are kind to someone they will most likely be kind to you in return
• If it looks like a rose, and smells like a rose, you can bet almost for certain that it is a rose
• Become a student of human behavior. People will reveal their true self
• If you can’t communicate effectively you can’t manage or lead others.
• I love french fries with mayo (Hellman’s of course)
• A great hamburger is hard to beat (Pizza is a close second)
• Life is a planned event. Wishing and hoping won’t make it so. Have a plan and work your plan
• All work and no play does make Brian a dull boy.
• Stress is manageable. You can develop good coping skills
• Spandex is not a god given right. Some people should resist the urge to wear them
• 60 is not the new 40. 60 is 60. I can’t do some of the physical stuff that I could do when I was 40.
