Your job is important, but don&#8217;t live for just your job! Keep active and an open mind. Practice random acts of kindness. Complement someone each day. Listen to all sides of a story before making a decision. Don&#8217;t be afraid to admitting on being wrong. Learn the meaning of Life. Try, please try, to live within your means. Don&#8217;t worry about saving money for your kids&#8217; college costs, it means lots more if they pay their own way. Save at least 15% of what you make for retirement. Try to meet someone new everyday. Ann Landers really means well. Plan for the future. Listen and surround yourself with positive people and speakers. Don&#8217;t let the turkeys get you down. Write when you get work.. :-)<\/p>\n<p>Take care,<\/p>\n<p>Christoffer<br \/>\naka Sir Sword Boy , The Porch Guy, and Mr. Wonderful<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today&#8217;s NYTimes was a memorial to Christoffer M.
