The Early Years…… Be yourself Know your “stuff” Look for the good in people/situations Think “positive change” Do not let folks “run” over you Listen - Think Gross, Speak Net Find mentors Understand insecurities - in you, in others

The Later Years….. : 

The Later Years….. Two kinds of people - those that MAKE dust and those that EAT dust…! Work SMART and work HARD! Friends come and go, and enemies accumulate. You have two ears and 1 mouth; use them in that proportion. What goes around, comes around.
