Peter Drucker - "The only thing we know about the future is that it will be different."

I heard I pretty good talk today about the upcoming new year. Apart from the usual babble about resolutions (or, "goals" for you p.c. types), I thought the speaker did a great job of re-emphasizing the importance of paying attention during our waking hours and not giving in to the overwhelming influence of popular culture: to numb ourselves with entertainment and distraction.
I don't want to set a bunch of silly benchmarks for myself; I want to simply keep growing and learning. Stagnation is my worst fear. It usually leads to depression and/or angst. I don't know what my future holds. I have a pretty strong intuition that it will different, and I like surprises . . .

C.S. Lewis - Mere change is not growth. Growth is the synthesis of change and continuity, and where there is no continuity there is no growth.

P.S. Process, process, process, Ben. Patience!
