My friend John said something the other day that seems to have struck a chord.
He said, “How far you go in life will depend on your willingness to love other people by being
because at some point in your life, you’re going to be all four.”
Yup. But, it’s the “love other people” that we (I) seem to struggle with the most. Pity.
It’s interesting when people put these kinds of video presentations together that show how technology is changing, how it’s changing us, and how it changes what we do.
Here is an updated version that incorporates the influences of social media:

The world is moving at what seems to be an ever-increasing pace. I remember my folks saying, “The world is just moving too fast.”
Yeah, Pops, it is and it’s getting even harder to keep up. It’s exciting and exhausting at the same time. Fun, fascinating, and ferocious all at once.
I saw a bumper sticker last week that read “Why are we moving so fast and why am I in this basket?”
In reality, it’s probably no different than before other than the technology, the tools, the toys have changed.
So, buckle your seat belt, please keep your hands and legs inside the ride at all times, and hang on for the ride of your life.
