Those three precious letters…

Yesterday afternoon, I proudly walked across a stage at the Columbus Convention Center, shook the university president’s hand and proceeded to receive my Master in Business Administration degree from an esteemed member of the university faculty.

After 16 months of relentless course work, papers, studying complex equations, endless reading assignments and 3 1/2 hour classes, the moment had finally arrived to physically obtain the MBA all that work had been dedicated towards. And this all culminated in 12 seconds of pure joy and relaxation as I walked across the stage in front of the faculty, my family, my fellow graduates and their loved ones.

Of course, it’s in these instances that one ponders grandiose thoughts and famous sayings by famous and profound individuals as great challenges and opportunities lie ahead.

But then (for me anyways) that reaction was eclipsed by sayings by individuals whose words are just as inspirational, however the source is less than celebrated in the world of academia.

Oh well, who cares! Here are a few of my favorite timeless words to live by:

“Life’s a Garden, Dig It!”         

Sincerely,
