As many of my friends and family understand, from time to time, I can’t resist the urge to reach out and rant about something troubling me. Historically, that’s happened via email, often with lengthy attachments that I expect very few people read. It is my hope that this newly created blog site will give me the outlet I seek, without burdening anyone with unwanted communications. And, should any number of people come to this site to read my ruminations, I may get some satisfaction from the belief that I have offered them something to think about, or, in my wildest dreams, something impactful and positive for their future.
So, for my first step forward, I will share Tom’s rules for the road, or, mantras to live by. ( To be repeated to one’s self as often as necessary.)
- If it’s going to be, it’s up to me.
- Don’t let the bastards drag you down!
- If it’s never been written, it’s never been said.
- If you can’t argue your point, you don’t have a point.
- Integrity is the only personal treasure you can and will take with you when you go.
