It is hard to believe that we have arrived to the beginning of our Holiday Season, starting with Halloween! As I get older, time just speeds up year by year. I remember my grandmother, a member of ESA in California, had told me, as a young girl, that time gets faster as you get I older. So don't beg for the days to go by faster to get to desired activity you are waiting for... I remember this as a very long day when we switched from daylight savings time to standard time. My mom was on her way home from visiting a Regional Council meeting when California's State President. And, I was watching the minutes tick by so slowly. How I wish I had some of that time back!
Last week I spoke to time management and how I had planned ahead due to upcoming events. Just today, due to all the changes in healthcare we are becoming aware of these days, I received an email that included this statement:
"Don't fall victim to the old adage; he who fails to plan, plans to fail!"
That just amazed me of being reminded of the importance in time management and planning ahead. I spoke to how that was an attribute of being a Leader. With the email today, it was a reminder I needed to take the time to plan out what my tasks are to insure I will accomplish them to the best of my ability. Hope that made some sense to all!
Now for last week's IAWL Trivia Question...There is a relationship between “It’s A Wonderful Life” and “ET The Extra-Terrestrial”. What is it? Did you guess it? A clue - a well known family in the Theater and Movies - the Barrymores! Lionel Barrymore portrayed the most disliked man in Bedford Falls, Harry F. Potter. Potter was also the richest man in Bedford Falls. Now how does he have a relationship with ET? His grand-niece Drew Barrymore was the little girl with huge eyes in the ET movie. Drew's name, a family name, from her great grandmother, the mother of Lionel, Ethel, and John Sr. John Sr.'s son, John "Drew" Barrymore was Drew's father. Quite the legendary acting family!
