Additional Perspective



As years pass - and I follow the standard that "old" is always ten years above my current age - I've noticed the following tendencies:

  • Appreciation of small but pleasurable moments instead of grand occasions;
  • Heightened awareness of things which others might miss if only because I'm not thinking three meetings ahead but am focusing on now;
  • Belief that many parts of life are like the re-make, be it good or bad, of a film you've seen before;
  • Knowledge that the best approach for many issues is to leave them alone; i.e. I really don't need to have a personal foreign policy; and
  • Understanding the wisdom of combining burning ambition with subdued expectations.
