Wow Bruce, what a great post, really. It makes me think of the fact that, on the same topic, it’s sad that most kids nowadays grow up thinking that their parents and, more importantly, their grandparents are just “old people” who need a token portion of their time before they go off to play in their own world, and it’s all too soon before those grandparents are no longer there
to tell their stories.
I wish I would have given my grandparents more of my time while they were alive, but this is a great lesson for us all. Grandparents come in many forms, such as service men and older folks in nursing homes. Some are very alone in this world, even though most have many in their life.
The Harry Chapin song, often mistakenly credited to Cat Stevens, Cat’s in the Cradle, is a perfect analogy for this situation.
By the time we are old enough and mature enough to need/want to talk to these people, they are usually gone.
This has a great life lesson. Give time to those who need it. Our service men deserve to have someone sitting at their feet every day listening to the stories they have to tell and so do our parents and grandparents.
Thanks for the reminder Bruce! I know I will think twice about passing up a man in uniform who looks alone.

I would definitely not be here commenting on any blog right now if not for the coaches in my life, paid and unpaid,. My life is different because of them and I appreciate every single one.
Thanks for your insight on this subject. It’s so important.

Hey John, this is a great post, as always.
It reminds me of a conversation I was having the other night with a Bunco buddy about Yoga. She said that she takes Yoga classes at her local school and doesn’t feel like she’s getting enough out of it because it’s not a heated studio and it’s just not hot enough to get the full effects of a Yoga class.
I FULLY AGREE.
The point
of Yoga is to heat up your muscles so they become more limber and you’re able to get into the harder positions.
It’s the same thing with turning up your internal thermostat. It’s gotta be set way up and the “heat has to be on” (so to speak), to be able to reach the hard goals and the higher levels in life in general.
You’re right, we are all where we are because of choices we’ve made and places that we’ve gotten “comfortable” in life. It’s like the dog laying on the nail. If the pain isn’t great enough we aren’t going to move off it.
Turn up the heat and let’s Rock.
(By the way, what is the little Twitter plugin you have below. That’s cool!)

Paul, great post. I love Robert. I heard at one time that he didn’t really have a rich dad, but the source was not from someone I consider credible, then did some digging and it appears that his “rich dad” was really very real and came forward and wrote an article about the whole thing.
Thanks for the great advice about home based business and how to formulate a good plan . ... See all content Hide content
