8 Things I Know 2008
Last year upon turning 38 I blogged this statement in a post:
It’s been said “The more you learn, the less you know.” But that doesn’t mean you can’t know something.
A year later, there are some new things that I know. Here are 8 of them. Some are just facts, others are things that one should strive to do:
- Some people are not the persons they seem.
- Always be professional.
- The ego is bad. The being is good. (Read Eckhart Tolle’s, A New Earth)
- Every one of us will soon be old so create value in every day.
- Do the best you can and let the chips fall where they may.
- Do the things that you can live with and don’t worry about what “low people” think.
- Get your marriage and house in order before you pour milk in your cereal.
- This blog’s readership will explode in 2008-2009. (and I need some more dell memory!)
Those things I know my friend. Leave me yours … correction: PLEASE leave me yours! Here’s to another year! I’m 39 Monday. Did I ever tell you my funky B-Day? 6/9/69??? Yup yup. Believe it or not.

3. even though i’m an introvert, i’m a relationship-driven animal
4. and while we’re at it: i’m an animal. the species happens to be called homo sapiens. but giraffes are still my sisters and daddy longlegs my brothers
5. there’s no such thing as being too grounded
6. love is even bigger than the internet!
7. science is useful and art is indispensible
8. i know i don’t know
