Paul Klee said "Art does not reproduce the visible; it makes visible." I love that! I'm a fan of most kinds of art. I have to say most kinds, because there was a dude who duct taped a banana to a wall and sold it for millions. Another “artist” with quotes around that word, make an invisible sculpture and sold it to someone. I'm not sure who, but someone dumb enough to buy a pretend sculpture, with real money. What the heck is that all about? I was told that the art world is known for being a front for drugs and money laundering. They're really selling something they can't charge you for, but they SELL you a painting give you the other thing. I'm not sure how real that is, but it makes more sense than paying millions for a taped banana or paying millions for nothing at all, just an invisible piece of art to put in your real home. WEIRD!

Simon Sinek said “When the incentives offered prioritize growth over stability, we successfully build large, unstable organizations.” Very true. I have noticed some things in very large companies and some government entities that always bothered me. There are systems in place to make a budget, get it approved, then spend every cent. If you don't spend everything this year, it's going to cost you in the budget next year. WHAT?! So, if you're able to save the company money, or the government entity, then they penalize you? Shouldn't they reward those who find ways to save money? They don't. It's so weird to me. We're a small company. Here we celebrate when we find ways to save money. I'm not going to penalize anyone for helping in that mission. I've only worked in a company with that stance one time. It was weird!

Harriet Beecher Stowe said "The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone." What a quote! We never know when we'll be called home. Don't wait for tomorrow when you could say what you need to say TODAY! If you're in a little squabble with a friend or family member, be the bigger person and call them to settle things with an apology for whatever you brought to the squabble. My wife's grandpa has been gone since 2006. When he was towards the end of his life, we stopped by to see him. He was on the phone and was laughing and crying a little and had a wonderful conversation. When he got off the phone, he said that was a guy who used to be a great friend. They got in an argument 30 years prior and quit being friends. The guy called to tell him he felt bad that he had not made that call sooner.

Sir Isaac Newton said "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." I love this. I feel the same way about the things I do. When I get a compliment about something I've done, I always think about the reason I can do whatever it is I'm doing. So many times it is because someone else blazed the trail. I'm able to follow in their footsteps to do the things I'm doing now. I think we should all aim to leave a path for the next generation. I'd love our path to be worth following too. Are you standing on the shoulders of giants? If they're still alive, you should reach out to them to let them know how much appreciate the path they blazed for you. I had a weird conversation with a guy I knew 30 years ago. He was telling me how much he learned from my dad. I didn't even know they really knew one another. But he appreciated him!

John Adams said "I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival." He was right too. Hopefully you enjoyed your celebration over the weekend. John Adams thought we would be celebration the 2^nd of July, not the 4^th of July. The date they declared their independence was July 2, 1776. July 4^th was when the document text was formally adopted by the Continental Congress. They didn't actually sign it that day. Most of them signed, just after John Hancock on August 2^nd, but some were later, the last was Thomas McKean, he signed way later, potentially in 1781. These 56 men took a stand to find a better way, one that did not involve a king! They found it too. 250 years later, I'm still lovin' it! Is this the perfect system? Probably not, but it's the best system I know of and it's working well!
