Goggins One
Boring Little Things
“You need to let the little things that would ordinarily bore you suddenly thrill you.”
Leadership
“Leadership consists of nothing, but taking responsibility for everything that goes wrong and giving your subordinates credit for everything that goes well.”
This is a great quote from Eisenhower. The picture is of a postcard I received from Berlin but it is an English scene. The sender bought it in England when he was on an extended bike trip. Why ask why.
Skill
“A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.”
Folk Wisdom

Time
“Time is precious. Time is money. Time is the stuff of which life is made.”
Benjamin Franklin in Advice to a Young Tradesman. (1748)
The postcard illustrates the opposite sentiment as did Franklin in his later years.
Happiness
“Try to find the good in everything.”
Admittedly things happen for which there is no good to be found so the operative word is “try.”
