    Some Life Lessons

    0
    By Vern Gambetta on January 19, 2021 Vern Gambetta's Blog

    This morning on my walk I was thinking about what I have learned in my 74 years on this planet. Life has been good to be. There have been up and downs, but mostly I have been able to keep moving forward. Since I have more yesterdays than tomorrows, I find myself reflecting more. Here are my thoughts on life lessons from this morning’s walk.

      You don’t have to be loud to be heard.

      Actions really do speak louder than words.

      You don’t have to be right all the time.

      Learn to really listen before you speak.

      Passion is high octane fuel, handle it carefully.

      Compassion might be more important than passion.

      Depression is a bitch. Learning to deal with it is an ongoing process.

      Family and true friends are the most important asset you can have. Cherish them. LOVE THEM.

      Never forget the Little Engine That could – I think I can. I think I Can. I think I can. I have learned that if you think you can, you will.

    I dedicate this post to my precious granddaughter, Taylor. I want to do everything I can to make sure that the world she grows up is a better world than we have now.
