Life in perspective

One of my employees wrote this and shared it with me this morning. It is such a great piece that I asked him for a copy and with the intent to share it with the blogesphere.

The average person lives about 75 years. Now if you multiply 75 years times 52 weeks you come up with 3,900 weeks of life. That’s it. That is all the average person has.

It seems it’s all over in the blink of an eye. So let’s be more selfish with who or where we spend our precious time. Do things that only make your heart and soul satisfied. Take that trop, buy that car, call that friend, tell that special someone you love them when they least expect it.

Pay attention to the really important things in life. Be the guy who tells the joke, not the recipient of the punch line. Be the predator, not the food source. Gorge yourself at the banquet of life until the only things left on the table are the crumbs.

In other words, you’re an army of one. So it’s up to you to either lead the charge with conquest on your mind…or sound the trumpets of retreat.

It takes a great man to make a decision; it takes a greater man to change his mind.

Nice - I like some of the visuals in the metaphors.
