Last Friday I discovered:
- TSA employees in Chicago have a great sense of humor.
- Lack of sleep can be overcome with enthusiasm for what you’re doing.
- Quality Italian makes a mean steak tartare.
And last week I was reminded, yet again:
- If you doubt your skills or ability, then say yes to the scary opportunity in front of you. Taking on a “can I really do this?” challenge is a solid kick-your-career-in-the-butt moment.
- The SAME mistakes will keep happening until you finally learn the lesson…
- No is a complete sentence.
- Being the Sherpa for other people’s business challenges is carrying their guilt-trip too far.
- Humanity and random acts of kindness exist — even on Madison Avenue.
- Arms-distance is a useful tactic to cross a chasm.
- Being business self-focused is not the same as narcissism.
- Creating a ritual is not boring routine, and can save a strained relationship.
- Reading your horoscope is often the best therapy (thank you AstroTwins).
- LGA airport may suck, however, it is so wonderfully good to come home to.
Now, wear your sunscreen and relax responsibly over the long weekend.
