Wade's Life Lessons
I think most people don’t understand how to invest in themselves. You may not know what this means, so let me explain. For one, I think you need to look at your own health. This could be your physique or your health in general. In fact, I would argue that it’s both. You need to […]
When you get older you lose loved ones. They die off throughout your life. My parents were older when they had me, around 40, and they died when I was in my 50s. My dad lived to 94, about 3 months shy of 95, and my mom died 10 days before her 92nd birthday. Both […]
Don’t feel bad, today’s news and updates make all of us skeptical of anything we hear or read. While this sounds like I am talking politics, as I read different news, health updates, and even my tech papers, I realize there is a lot of crap mixed in with facts. I read whitepapers, which used […]
I often hear people judging people on events that happened 20, 30, or even 100 years ago. That drives me crazy because times were different then, weren’t they? How can we judge people today on what they did 20 years ago when 20 years ago that behavior was not only normal, but expected. When I […]
I often hear gurus telling us to be clear on what we want, our goals and so on. That seems like good advice but it has to be a SMART goal, more or less. However, no one ever tells you to be clear on what you don’t want. An anti-goal if you will. Your anti-goal […]
This is my opinion, to be clear, and not necessarily of anyone I work for or with. It’s interesting how larger companies have so much bureaucracy and think that it will help them grow. To be honest, they need processes and repeatability. This is how they become more productive and more efficient. However, today companies […]
I was reading a book by David Leddik called “I’m not for Everyone and Neither are You” which is teaching me a new outlook. He has a quote in the book that says “Spend on luxuries. The necessities will take care of themselves.” While this may not mean anything to you, I found out that […]
I think as I get older I get more confused. I often think I have things figured out, but things change, don’t they. I think I have people figured out,but people change. Even technology is changing so fast it’s hard to keep up. My time gets sucked into things that are a complete waste of […]
You know, it’s easy to see what’s there but what if you miss what’s missing? I sometimes miss the obvious, and that’s usually what isn’t there unless I am looking for that particular thing. when we have to discover several missing items, then it becomes a challenge. This is where risk becomes important. At work […]
The one thing I always am thankful for is good luck. While many people attribute luck to skill, experience, or planning, sometimes we’re just lucky. When I was a tower climber, near misses happened quite often. Things would fall from the tower, people would just barely miss getting hurt, and so on. I saw this […]
