So, last day at Wells Fargo has begun and soon my short few weeks of freedom will be upon me. So, what did I learn this summer:
1. Time is probably the most precious thing we have. If you don't have time to spend on the people, things, and projects that are important to you then what good is anything else (money) you may have.
2. A man's toil is his lot, maybe having a job isn't about loving your job, but about doing whatever it is joyfully and to the best of your ability using all the strength that God gives. This is a hard pill for me to swallow, and I'm still mulling over even putting it in my mouth.
3. People can be friendly without being fun, but most friendly people are more fun if you get them a bit tipsy.
4. If you're in a position of power or leadership it is important to be respected as a leader, but also for those you are leading to consider you a friend.
5. Philadelphia is an old old town.
6. Maturity is not strongly linked to the number of years you've been alive.
So after work I'm leaving for a two week road trip with Kate through a large chunk of the beautiful United States. Our first stop will be Assateague Island in Maryland, and after that it will a pretty go-with-the-flow trip with the only planned-out stops being in Gatlinburg, TN, Nashville, TN, Hopkinsville, KY, Louisville, KY, and Cleveland, Oh. So yeah if you'll be near one of those places in the next two weeks give me a call and we'll try to meet up. Otherwise check here for possible updates on the fun. |
