In place of the traditional Leadership @ Large segments, I thought you’d be interested in these related articles from decades past.

A decade ago, in 1996, I crossed into the 50’s, and wrote the lesson, “I’m 50 and Reflecting.” In it, I looked back at the 10 most valuable lessons I had learned over the course of my life.

1. The Naivety of Youth and Its Potential
2. The Hot Poker Principle: Stay close to the people and things that keep you passionate.
3. Stay With Your Strengths
4. Appreciate the Differences of People
5. The Importance of Leadership
6. The Value of Daily Discipline
7. A True Definition of Success: Knowing my purpose in life, growing to my maximum potential, and sowing seeds that benefit others.
8. To Take Time for Myself
9. The Benefits of Adversity
10. God’s Goodness and Grace Over Me

I’m 40 and Counting

In place of the traditional Leadership @ Large segments, I thought you’d be interested in these related articles from decades past.

When you celebrate your 40th birthday, you’ve supposedly gone “over the hill.” You’re past your prime and beginning to show signs of age. When I crossed “over the hill,” I gave a lesson entitled, “I’m 40 and Counting.” In it, I recommended 10 things you should have in place before turning 40.

1. Know Yourself
2. Settle Your Family Life
3. Determine Your Priorities
4. Develop Your Philosophy
5. Get Physically Fit
6. Learn Your Trade
7. Pay the Price
8. Develop Strong Relationships
9. Prepare for the Future
10. Find God’s Will
