As you pack up your NYC adventure and tick it off your bucket list, keep this list handy, it will be harder and harder to find real people. —

1 Remember WHY you are here⎜WHY is what keeps you on your critical path ⎜WHY. helps you see what others don’t⎜ WHY reminds you to be kind, always.

2 Have fun inside as all the world is made of faith, trust and pixie dust. (Peter Pan)

3 INAUTHENTIC BEHAVIOR is Fraud, Plagiarism and Conflict of Interest are. all the same. Have none of it. You dont have to be liked, just be REAL.

4 LIVE WITH GRATITUDE ⎜You will find that gratitude centers you. It also emboldens you to face any challenge with courage and perseverance.

5 Its not a press release unless you have something to release. (AI 2018)

6 We walk by faith, not by sight (2 Cor 5:6–10)

7 PEOPLE are the game changer, not tech, not money, not government. We need to build communities, reestablish trust, reconnect, interoperate, build some more.

8 If you want to take credit, learn to take accountability.

9 Live at the intersection of what you’re good and what breaks your heart.

10 Listen to your gut, it’s hardly wrong. ⎜Learn to recognize the omens, and follow them. (PC)
