What the General Meant to Say…. and other stuff they never told you about

At some point, almost everyone says, “Wow, if I knew then what I know now, things might have been very different.”

Throughout life a number of mentors shared insights that shaped who I am today. Sometimes the lessons were taught up front, but I didn’t capture their essence until much later. Generally, lessons learned were after the fact.

Occasionally, the truth is so obvious it goes without saying — but needs to be stated anyway.  Often the truth is more subtle, but infinitely valuable.

Each of these insights could be an hour long conversation or a separate chapter in a book (perhaps someday). They are provided as thought-provokers. If they stir another insight or consideration in you, let me know.

I’d like to be the smartest guy in the room — I’m not. But I have learned to listen and capture someone else’s wisdom and pass it on. Please do the same.

We all need to learn from each other.
