FRIDAY THOUGHTS – A New Journey
1-Mar-13
I always get excited when I start a new journey. There are no obstacles on the horizon. Fears have yet to set in. Expectations and excitement are running
high. I am starting just such a journey
today with the re-launch of my Friday Thoughts blog.
I first undertook Friday Thoughts in 2008 as a way to
connect with distributed members of my team around the world. I was humbled to see how that proliferated. This is now my third iteration of Friday
Thoughts and I hope it provides those who read it with a break, however short,
from busy weeks. I hope to convey some
wisdom, a little bit of humor and some fresh insights.
While Ralph Waldo Emerson
may have said it first, I like Aerosmith’s version:
That one last shots a permanent
vacation
And how high can you fly with
broken wings
Life’s a journey not a destination
And I just can't tell just what
tomorrow brings
-
Aerosmith, Amazing track
from “Get a Grip”
"Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the
great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin
with a single step."
— Lao Tzu
Where are you in your journey of life?
The potentially interesting but unrelated department:
- There are 47,182 miles in the US Interstate Highway System.
- A Swiss free diver, Peter Colat, holds the record for holding ones breath under water at 19 minutes, 21 seconds.
- Apple claims to own 20% of the global smartphone market, but 75% of the profits.
Random Closing Thought
“There are only two days in the year that nothing can be
done. One is called yesterday and the other is called tomorrow, so today is the
right day to love, believe, do and mostly live.”
Periodically, on a Friday of course, I will post a “Friday
Thoughts” to my GreggClarkEY Blog. It is
a lighter-side-of-life look at my experiences and how I apply them to being a
better person and leader. Hopefully
there will be something here for you.
