Here's another benefit of being older and experienced: we can get things done faster and more efficiently. A while back, my husband and I set out to paint three rooms in our house. It took us about a week to do one, at which point we finally called in a professional. He painted two rooms in a day and did a better job that we did. Similarly, in my own work, I find I'm pretty quick at most things these days compared to when I was younger — and with good results.
So true Rosana. Reminds me of “L.A. Law” back in the day where someone complained about how few hours the senior partner spent in the office. And someone else pointed out that the senior partner can make one phone call and fix an issue that would take another lawyer weeks of work.
Right! Let's also stipulate that we don't always
get wiser as we get older, but we do have more perspective. It's like climbing a tall hill; you can see so much further the higher you go.
Well said, my friend.

Excellent points! Well done, Adam.
Thanks much Ronnie. You have been such an inspiration to me for this newsletter and lots of other things too.
Thanks, Adam! I live to inspire. Or at least provide a cautionary tale.
Nailed it.
Thanks Ara. Onward and upward, right?
