It good to be looking down at the green. My fathers regular comment when asked how he is doing. He is 92 and at independent care Atria.
How is your attitude?

So often one hears that someone is “so smart.” Not true. They are “curious” and this curiosity drives them to explore new people, places and things with passion and increase their knowledge so they can make an even greater impact on the world.

good comments today

Thank you for encouraging civil discussion between intelligent adults. Keep the daily messages coming!

As always, I appreciate your insight and intelligent angle! I also appreciate that we all are part of this great network and we can talk things through with calmness. I’m my case, I really on my body and mind telling me what to do. I will do what’s best for me. That may mean I may not agree with decisions that our government makes for me. After all, they are human beings and have been proven many times to make mistakes too! Men and women learn from each other, it’s what we do in this world !

Interesting thought…methinks you can arrive at the end of a journey, it’s what you learned along the way that is so important

Beyond the Lighted Stage a must see, if a Rush fan

Rush is one of my favorite rock bands. My brother Steve and I had front row center tickets at the Tweeter Center in MA. He worked for Tweeter Etc. Neil Peart was the best drummer of all time!

Rush Limbaugh, R.I.P. (Feb. 17, 2021). I liked his style, and was a fan of his radio program.

Huge Rush fan here! Saw them countless times from the 80s up until they retired. Recently saw a Rush tribute band. “Lotus Land”. They did a well done job! RIP Neil, you are missed very much!

Your arrival point is just another step in your life
There’s always a new step to take

RUSH ! Loved their early music! Neil Peart was such a great lyricist, a true thinker! Amazing drummer too!
My older brother turned me on to them right around the time of their first album release. He saw them at the Cleveland Agora. It was a bar in Cleveland oh ,t hff at would get all sorts of talented bands to come play there. Tickets usually cost $1.01 as WMMS would promote these bands and they were 101.on the radio dial!
Thanks for you inspiration and all you do!!! I look forward to your daily thinking!

Everyone likes to dance after a victory, but the # of folks who do the work to train for that is astonishingly low.

We often say to our kids — “half of life is just showing up”, and then if you can add “on time” and “prepared” to that, you’ve got it made!

Totally agree….. Just showing up doesn’t get the job done.

True statement. The right attitude and frame of mind will carry over to prospective clients and to co-workers as well. Positivity breeds Positivity!

It’s not the challenge that you face that determines your character. It’s how you address it. 
Barry Gordy. the founder of Motown Recording and Production Studios put it best. “Innovate or Stagnate”.

Much appreciated Larry. I feel like it’s important to know where you came from so that you know where you’re going.

Hey Larry,
I wish more people would think this way. Then they wouldn’t have to worry about waking up in the morning and regret some of their choices.

As a Christian I look at things differently than a lot of other people and one of the universal characteristics of every person from the day they are born is that they are selfish. Our job as parents is to convert that selfish child into a self-less adult. Self-less doesn’t mean we don’t care for ourselves but that we put other’s needs ahead of our own. The reality is that you can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want. (Zig Ziglar) It is also true that there is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he doesn’t mind who gets the credit. (Ronald Reagan) If we were guided by the principles above then we would consider our actions differently.

10X message! Have a great day Larry!

Or force our employees to take an experimental jab.

The vaccine there trying to force is wrong and a complete toxin to the body. Not my words but mayo clinics and Cleveland clinic heads words

It is beyond important that we protect our freedom…Sad to see that it has become a necessity in this country.

If we could wake up so we don’t turn into Australia…that’d be great!

In most states it is mandatory for drivers to have car insurance. That works pretty well when someone runs into you

A quote by John Stuart Mill
who delivered an 1867 inaugural address at the University of St. Andrews and stated: “Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.”

My sentiment made so succinct by this quote…no need for me to embellish

Unless you are sheltering in a cave with an overabundance of food and water and writing a manifesto on tablets, i.e., not even hunting for food, then you are doing “something”, which involves other people. The word Freedom in the Constitution does not mean what you and the Ayn Rand Institute have corrupted it to mean … the goal was a relinquishing of some individuality in order to perform a more perfect union, like defense and the roads that your companies make money from. If you are trying to vaguely refer to the vaccine, then again you are wrong because you can kill me by not taking the vaccine, and the ultimate libertarian politic is that “your right to swing your fist, ends at my nose”. Wake up and be part of society and government … would you prefer anarchy and war?

Amen. Strange things are afoot and its time we stand up and fight. I think the first time around it was for less reasons…. something about high taxes on tea or something if I recall. 😉

Larry, I agree that individual rights and freedoms are an essential part of our society and should be defended, but their are certain rights that apply to others that require our own opinions to take a back seat. Vaccines have improved our society and almost eradicated certain ailments that used to impact not only our individual lives but those around us. The right for a person to role the dice with their own health is acceptable provided they do not become the weapon in which others may lose the battle because of the initial choice…… I personally chose to get vaccinated twice to protect myself as well as my family , friends and co-workers. I also agree that those that chose to skip the jab cannot board a plane, train or go to a target rich environment like a sporting event as their choice should not affect others well being. In an era of covid it seems logical as well that Healthcare workers who are not vaccinated cannot report for work since their choice should not put the sick and elderly in a greater risk for complications due to covid. I also agree that people need to have a drivers license, insurrance and be sober when the get behind the wheel and cross paths with other people on the road. The Greater good is a valid reason in my opinion.

Well Larry, I expected this would incite a firestorm of comments! It’s really sad how divided this country has become over the vaccine (and other social issues). The way I feel about it is like the Bible says, “When someone has been given much, much will be required in return;” (Luke 12:48b) The same holds true for our freedoms. Our nation was founded on individual freedom but along with that was expected individual responsibility. For many years individual responsibility has been diminished to where the majority of society now doesn’t feel that they must be responsible for many/any of their actions. Without strong individual responsibility our freedoms will continue to be taken in order to try to maintain a semblance of orderly society. It’s a real sad state of affairs!

Already did!

Great picture Larry. When I start again it is always in the pool doing laps. You do what you know.

Best

David
