10 Lessons to Live By (Plus 1) – Wisdom I Believe

  1. Anything worth doing is worth doing well. Or, in other words: Do everything you do as if unto the glory of God.
  2. Don’t let the urgent keep you from the important.
  3. Good ideas are a dime a dozen. Execution is everything.
  4. Opportunities are all around you. If your eyes are open, you will see them.
  5. Surround yourself with people who are smarter than yourself.
  6. My dad always told me to work smart, not hard. I have learned that to find success, you must work both and smart.
  7. Always have a teachable heart. Never close yourself off to learning something new.
  8. Be a friend to everyone you meet. You never know when they will be the one who helps you.
  9. Give first, without expectation of receiving anything in return, and you will be blesssed beyond your wildest dreams.
  10. Don’t worry about making money, worry about providing value, and money will come.
  11. Always Live with Integrity. A good name is better to have than great riches.

    Excellent advice Vi- I especially liked the point about great ideas and execution. I’m really impressed with your Fiddle Tune a Day- a great idea that I know you executed because there are 366 videos filed under the title. I’m sure it wasn’t something that you were up to doing each and everyday, but you carried it out consistently for the entire year because that’s what you said you’d do. What a great way to make a year of your life stand out- and to share your talent on line with so many others makes it all the more special. I do believe you make God smile.

    All the best in your future endeavors- god bless you and your family.

    Patrick

      Thanks Patrick. I’m glad you are enjoying Fiddle Tune a Day. Thanks for being a part of the journey. You are right that it was a daily challenge. Sometimes I was inspired, and other times, I didn’t start it until after 10pm. Those were the really hard days. Blessings to you as well!

      Thanks,
      Vi
