Sic Parvis Magna!
Are you up to it?
The courage to create.
The audacity to forge new paths.
The tenacity to embrace trial and error.
Youth is wasted on the young.
Wisdom is wasted on the old.
The life you want in on the other side of a few hard conversations.
And you are living a life you hate because you are too afraid to have them.
– Pope
Who are you coming with?
In the dance of life, choose your partners well,
Be smart who you pick,
Be discerning,
Choose your company, let wisdom steer.
Choose wisely, where you stand.
Pick your buddies, keep your light.
Don’t wander where fools parade.
With smart folks, your journey’s sound,
Stay with them, on solid ground.
Don’t hang out with idiots!
Don’t be the idiot!
Proverbs 13:20
He who walks with wise men will be wise,
But the companion of fools will be destroyed.
– Pope

My Brief
I’m focused on the essentials….
to the exclusion of all else.
I’m unsure of the future…
but I’m not concerned.
I will rely on those closest to me
And I will share their burdens.
as they share mine.
I will live….. and love
-Pope
Ready to Pay
Everything has a Price.
The great struggle in life is coming
to grips with what that price is.
-Pope
Rugged Study
“Study hard what interests you the most
in the most undisciplined, irreverent
and original manner possible.”
– Richard Feynmann
Say No
As many times as possible!
As consistently as possible!
As often as the need arises!
-Pope
Stay put! I’m not Fighting You
I just beat me!
I’m in a battle with the only person that I really
f**king beat.
And that’s me!
Wanna
If I can continue to outdo me from the day before,
Then, I’m AHEAD!
-Pope
Talk is Cheap
It is not the critic who counts,
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles,
where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly,
who errs.
who comes short again and again,
because there is no effort without error and shortcoming.
but who does actually strive to do the deeds;
who knows great enthusiasms,
the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who at the worst,
if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly,
so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls
who neither know victory nor defeat.
– Theodore Roosevelt
Versions and Phases
When things don’t work out,
I do not call it failure!
I call it version 1
