The Joy’s of Youth
It’s too funny. I have been dealing in business with several very young people (under 30 years old). Here is the way they occur to me:
- Aggressive
- Know ALL the answers
- Idealistic
- Ballsy
- Certain
I recall when I was sub-30 and totally overbearing, cocky and always-right. Some would ask what’s changed… My response, it has changed quite a bit. I now know the meaning of the phrase “if I only knew then, what I know now”. In hind site, I’m enjoying the benefit’s of maturity.
Thanks for the memories – Classic Bob Hope
