If you could do freshman year over

Prepping for next week’s Disney Creativity Keynote Speech in Madrid. Some notes on a post-it note.

If you could do freshman year over, and you could have a roommate or a private room, which would you pick?

Private room.

Why?

To avoid potential personality mis-match drama.

The downside is losing the potential struggle and the lessons you learn from the experience.

Personal Organization creates moments

Yesterday a tiny spider was trapped in our kitchen sink. The spider a minute later was set free.
Contact for spider’s size. Spider on upper left paper towel edge.

Personal Organization creates moments. Moments as small and insignificant as coaxing (it took some creative effort and time) a tiny spider onto a paper towel to save it’s life.

Son, thank you for your compassion. It inspires me.

Reflect on your favorites

Reflect on your favorites.

Favorites are proof of what we value.

Favorites will likely change as you experience more of life.

Son, my two favorite places in the world, in this order, are our back porch and our front porch.

Walt Disney World, Glacier National Park and Sanibel Island round out the top five.

Over-focusing is a gift you give yourself

Ms Emily Tousek, IB Music Teacher, and a college-bound young man filled with possibility.

Over-focusing is a gift you give yourself.

Over-focus on the same things you used to under-focus on or ignore.

Be intentional where you used to be less intentional.

Discipline yourself to use nothing but the growth mindset.

Son, you are well-equipped to build an amazing and enriching life on the solid foundation from your life in Orlando.

Enjoyed the moment rather than capture it

For a guy who takes a lot of photos, i didn’t take many yesterday. This one was an afterthought.

Enjoyed the moment rather than capture it.

Rare.

Would i do it the same way again?

Probably not.

Do i regret not taking more photos?

Nope.

Son, it’s ok to be okay with not doing what you always do.

Remember, however, that great habits are scalable and produce superior long-term results. Aim for perfection, settle for excellence.

The absence of a group photo, when we had everyone here, would have been great but not having it doesn’t dimmish the memory of a wonderful day.
