DO YOU HAVE TO RESPECT TO BE RESPECTED?

I am sure I may get some heat for this...but truly, do you have to respect someone to be respected back. I kinda think no!?!?!!?
I feel like nowadays...there are junior employees (certainly not at my company), who don't understand their position in the company there are working for, OR their place in the world when it comes to their experience level. I think there were times in my life I did not want to to act a certain way, or I wanted to treat someone a certain way..but at the end of the day, they were older than me, more experience in life than me, so the bottom line was...I respected that!

I think a lot of it was communicated to me via my parents; they drilled it into my head that I needed to respect people for XY and Z reasons...and in the end they were 100% right! It's not always easy, b/c sometimes you feel like you should be treated the way they should be treated, when in fact that's just not the case; AND of course this always relates back to people who are typically younger than your or less experienced which is even the stranger thing!

Anyway, just food for thought!

"ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG..."

There is such truth to that statement.."Only the good die young." It's amazing to think of all the incredible people who make a mark on this world, and die before they can truly realize the impact they have had on people; and our society. I am hoping that steven Jobs really knew the "ding" he made in the world, I am thinking that he did.

When you are a true visionary in your field, you can see the potential and reason of things before anyone else can. You can talk about things you want to happen, and it only takes one person to believe you can make those things happen. I am always curious to see what people will say about me when it's my time. I mean in time of death even people we may have not thought were great get a pass. What I am hoping is that I perfect my skills in my industry, but leave a bigger legacy helping people in some way. I guess that might be the book I wrote and the ones I want to potentially write, after this one. I can't cure cancer by putting pretty things on pretty people, but I can make things more understandable for the average person when it comes to my real life.

I remember a teacher in HS saying to me, you can't always write like you talk...it won't make sense in an essay. He was right, very right...but the funny thing is, I did not want to write a typical essay I wanted to write like I speak. I am thankful that the world is a different place today and that I can do that, write like I talk. I can write openly, honestly and with much integrity.

Forget your carbon footprint, make sure you do what you love in life because you cannot live forever.

Much love!

I CAN'T POSSIBLY BE THE ONLY SANE PERSON ON THIS EARTH...

There are very few people I can honestly say, are always on point! I could name the few on maybe 2 hands that are either related to me, or friends of mine..the rest are just plain INSANE! I can't be THAT off all the time, and most of those who agree with me...think that the rest of the world is insane too! AND I don't know maybe it's when you get older your views get skewed and you can't quite see things clearly? OR maybe it's because I am so liberal and don't understand why everyone else is not? It seems to get worse with age!

I do know those "like" people, tend to stick together...so to them, whatever they are saying makes sense? BUT then wouldn't that put me in the same category? I don't know, the big question is..."how do you know that your thinking is normal?" "What is normal?"

Well Friday could not come fast enough, so that for 2 days I can pretend like these people don't even EXISIT!!

CIAO for now!
XOXO
