Thoughts from Rich

A friend of mine shared these “life lessons” with me that came from her grandmother. Let’s remember that simplicity is good and advice from those older and wiser than ourselves is invaluable.

1. Be polite. Say “thank you,” “please,” and “I am sorry.”
2. Lower your voice if you want me to hear you.
3. Stop whining or begging — it is unattractive.
4. If you don’t like her, she probably doesn’t like you. (Ouch, I remember that stinging.)
5. Be fair. No manipulating to get your way — again, it is unattractive.
6. Don’t sweat the small stuff or fight over petty issues.
7. No one will change until you change.
8. A smile wins more than a frown.
9. You are not as important as you might think.
10. Don’t become your own problem.

Although there is no direct tie to athletics and sports, these “life lessons” are what we try to teach daily at Pinnacle Sports. Take these to heart and live them daily.
