IT'S ON ME


"Remorse is regret that one waited so long to do."

Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956) American journalist/satirist/social critic

It is overdue acceptance of our mistakes, made worse the longer we wait to acknowledge them.

Take responsibility then get on with the solution.

EVERYTHING THAT IS DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE


"Happy is he who learns to bear what he cannot change."

Friedrich Schiller 
18th century German dramatist/poet/historian

True, but the larger problem is not attempting to recognize what can be changed and working to see that it is.

The Serenity Prayer got it right.

I'M GOING INSANE, BUT WILL BE BACK SHORTLY


"No man is sane who does not know how to be insane on proper occasions."

Henry Ward Beecher
19th century American politician

Which makes the point that there are variations of insanity, some quite useful.

Just be sure you know which you are, when.

At Some Point You Just Have To Laugh


"I can imagine no more comfortable frame of mind for the conduct of life than a humorous resignation."

W. Somerset Maugham
20th century British playwright/author

Did you ever notice how happy and accepting many elderly seem to be?

They appear to have accepted this quote as true and a goal worthy of achieving.

Now, how to do this before we get old, particularly in our business lives.
