Be the person others go to for answers. Make sure you don’t lie. Admit you don’t know when you don’t. Do your best to help, but only when asked. The same goes for your opinion. Be generous with your time , knowledge, and money. Listen more than you speak. Don’t take a sucker punch. #life #success

If you don’t find humor around you, find it in you. #life #humor

I want the bottle labeled “Fake”. Or maybe I’m confused and this is sponsored by a soccer team. #marketing

“The customs agent frowned up at me. It must have been part of their training. All the others had similar expressions. He grudgingly grumbled a single word. Visa? The sweat on my brow trickled into my eye. I managed to croak, ‘No. Mastercard.’” #writing #throwawayline
