A
Christmas Day thought from Robert Genn Twice Weekly Letter of December 25,
2012.
There may be a few of you like me want to help and take care of the
world. Robert Genn’s Letter struck a strong cord with me about giving advice. I've decided these words of wisdom can’t be too far off base if supported by
Louie Armstrong and elders from the BC era. Because of my helpful nature, this
will not be an easy change of an old habit.
PS:
"It takes nearly as much ability to know how to profit from good advice as
to know how to act for one's self." Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Esoterica:
It's a problem. "There are some people that if they don't know, you can't
tell them," said Louis Armstrong. No matter how jolly one tends to be, this is depressing,
especially when you've made sure your advice is well thought out, tailored, and
lovingly rendered. "Many receive advice," said Publilius Syrus (46 BC) "but few profits by it." I quite often
use the words of Thomas S. Buechner: "Figure out what you do well and make it
better." "Descendamus
nostra caminis," said Kjerkius Gennius (36 BC). "By and large we come down our own
chimneys."

I’m going
for the brass ring. Would any of you like to travel with me on this journey in
2013? We may be happier individuals this time next in 2014. The trip may be
worth the effort. Love to hear your point of view.
