Live and Learn and Pass It On

Regardless of how much we know, we are given new opportunities everyday for growth and discovery. School is always in session and life challenges us to excel at being both the enthusiastic student and the inspired teacher. With that said, below are a few pearls of wisdom I’d like to share:

• I’ve learned that a person is only as good as his or her word.

• I’ve learned that a good reputation is a person’s biggest asset.
• I’ve learned that being fired can be the best thing that can happen to you.
• I’ve learned that the more creative you are, the more things you notice.
