Montreal!
My wife Wendy and I recently visited Montreal, Quebec for a few days. What a city! We loved it! It's like Europe, but closer, and you don't have to speak French. We found the people to be wonderful! It has an easy vibe, it's quiet for a big city,…
Highest point of contribution
High performing people always ask what the best use of their time and talent is to get the most results. They don't spend their time doing things that don't matter much. The answer can move around a little bit, so you have to keep asking - "Where is my…
Shooting the Arrow
Your mind will take instruction and do what you want it to do and take you where you want to go. In the morning, get in a quiet space (out of bed) and declare what you are grateful for. Then think about what you want. Ponder it. Visualize it. Feel…
Do you add to problems?
When a problem arises, the first problem you have to deal with is your reaction to it. Don't make it worse.
Spread Rumors
Spread good, true, rumors. "I heard he's a very valuable team member." "I heard she is doing a great job out there." "I heard she'll do anything to help. People love her."
Smile at people
When someone smiles at us, without words, it tells us they accept us. When you smile at someone, it tells them the same. They in turn respond accordingly. You in turn respond to their response, and pretty soon your day is going pretty well with all these nice people around…
Rule of Law Absent in Half the World
Free enterprise and the protection of individual rights can only exist in a society governed by a consistent rule of law, rather than by the arbitrary decrees of government officials. When the rule of law is supplanted by the discretionary judgements of those in power, all freedoms are in danger.…
Ask better questions
What is your big goal or big problem these days? What questions are you asking about this and around this? What haven't you asked? What assumptions should you ask about again? Who should you ask? What different questions can you create? Different answers can come from different questions.
Turn Pro
Many of us have been living our lives as amateurs. It's what ails us. We need to Turn Pro. A Pro thinks long term, does his work all day, and does not look to others to know if he is doing a good job. A Pro focuses and avoids distractions…
To create it, think it.
You can't create something, until you think it first. The visible comes from the invisible. What are you creating in your mind?

Never been there ( or many other places :)) I’ll make note of this for a spring family trip !
I agree Montreal is a beautiful City – even in Winter time. However, don’t miss out Quebec City. It’s at least as beautiful as Montreal. They do have a waterfall higher than the Niagara Falls, and a beautiful old historic center.
Quebec City is another great one. Montreal is now on my list, thanks Larry!
Visit the city when the Formula 1 race takes over! It’s an amazing experience that takes over the island/casino and the entire city is electric, it is sometime in June/July. Visited every summer for a few years, and have fond memories of that beautiful city.
Thank you for the innspiration and the quote.
We love big cities, we love to visit, but our B&B is not in a big city, and for those wanting to get away from the cities, we offer this:
“We’re not just like Europe”

My 1st VP of Sales Job was with Kingsway Transport in St Laurent, a suburb of Montreal.Although my office was U.S. based, I traveled to Montreal monthly for meetings. My wife and I were treated like “Royalty” whether we were there for business or pleasure. We even attended the Olympics in Montreal in 1976 when we were in college. What a great city of culture, night life, fine food and GREAT people!
nice
It was great having you and Wendy in Montreal. We really enjoyed your visit.
Yes indeed, it’s a beautiful city. It’s a welcoming city and we love everybody to come and visit.
Next time Larry we meet in Quebec City. True, it’s a city not to miss. As a tourist you will have no problem speaking only English. In any way you have a French speaking guide!
