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,

Happy Monday
Well, sometimes we can go into a weekend feeling one way and come out of it feeling completely different. It happens. Still, it’s never easy, nor pleasant. As one of my older sisters would say: it inhales profusely. Sunday night arrives and you learn just how temporary that excitement and new potential was sadly meant to last.
Still, it was a wonderful time, however short it was.
For some strange reason that I cannot exactly explain, the following saying has made a permanent imprint on my mind since I first heard it 13 years ago. It’s not Aristotle or Descartes, but…
“Keep on, keepin’ on.”
–Yes, that’s Joe Dirt
Regardless of the source, it’s pretty sound advice to follow when things don’t go as you thought they would. There are just some situations when that’s the reality, no matter how much you may not want it to be that way.
Happy Monday
P.S. Unfortunately, she didn’t know my background with languages and how she was the first person who made me want to learn even just one new phrase in Italian…
