Most people think networking is about meeting folks to do business with or to aid them move up the ladder in their careers. It involves more than that and my own experiences evidences benefits beyond career-building; it often leads to relationships that enable you to help others, not just clients or co-workers (and I can attest to such instances an …
I'm afraid there seems to be a pattern when we go to the ballpark.
My husband is a real Mets fan. So is my son. It is actually more than a little fun to listen to them watch a game together on the phone hundreds of miles away from each other. But I digress.
What do you think it means that if/when we leave the ballpark before the end of the g …
Last week we enjoyed two proud parent moments. Both involved my daughter. I posted to X about the first. Marisa authored an op-ed for the American Jewish Committee ("AJC") that appeared in the Albany Times-Union. It was placed there because the target audience serve as members of the New York State Assembly and New York State Senators. The op …
A silly family poem I heard every year growing up.
Spring has sprung
The grass has riz
I wonder where dem boidies is
Dem boides are on the wing
Isn't that absoid
The wing is on the boid
Thank you for the wisdom, Dan! I never used to understand - but I'm starting to now - the saying: "The days are long, but the years are short."
Your words remind me of my thoughts....
On Time
Joy is delivered when we are on life’s stage
Living from our own mind, from our own page
We write our destiny by finding reason in life’s rhyme
Because we can only live one line at a time
We choose how to arrange each given letter
Contours drawn by circumstances, for worse or for better
But we choose the order of our priority, our focus, our choice
The past has happened, the future awaits our present voice
In the present, we can be tense, or we can let our love flow
We are handed the letter, and what happens, we decide where to go
We control how we use our thoughts, our intellect, our sage
How to direct our passions, our allegiances, even our rage
Arrange and rearrange, there is no fixed pattern of right
But we each are entitled to bring out our own given sight
We decide what is important, of what we are and what we do
To withdraw within or to let our inner compass come through
We all put into context the chaos of every external person and thing
We have our say in what we contribute to most everything
Where will we put our gaze, what principles will we share?
When life challenges us with opportunities, will we dare?
Whirling through the universe, space relative to the moments we see
There is only the now, the here, the us, the choice to be
All that we can be, that we can bring to the situation at hand
That is all we can do, the parsing of time that we can understand
So grab it, seize the chance to make the most of the opportunity that is here
Keep your wits about you, appeal to your better mind, not your fear
Because at the end of your day, this will decide how your mission will go
And will determine the direction of your life, and how your inner purpose will flow
Time, possibly the most valuable thing we have in this life because it is so limited. As kids, we take it for granted. The days seem long. When is our next birthday? When is spring break, then summer, then the holidays until New Years? It seems to crawl. But, as we all know, time speeds up as we age. How can 24 hours go by so fast the older we get? …
