Some take away words of wisdom
Being bright, you can turn nothing into something
Being smart, you can turn something into every thing
Being wise is knowing what’s important in life and what’s worth fighting for and what’s not.
Solution focus beats competition focus.
Journaling is lifesaving and brings out the creative side.

Defeating self-defeat – Loneliness and procrastination
Lament for the Old
When I was a
doctor
it was common
practice
to avoid the
geriatrics floor.
The most widely used
rationalization
was the
reminder
of our own ultimate
demise.
But since my
colleagues
knew not how to
celebrate life,
I doubted that they
truly feared death.
I then
thought
it was because we
had been taught
to salvage life
quantitatively
and not
qualitatively.
And it was obvious
that
this group was a
poor bet.
I then took the
time
to get to know some
of these marvelous people,
three times my
age,
who offered a wealth
of experience
that spanned
hundreds of years.
What was so
obviously missing
was someone to share
the fullness of the past
and to help relieve
the loneliness of the future.
And maybe
someone
to give a
damn
when they
died…
