Goals for 2017

Two weeks from the New Year; thinking on what to improve for 2017.

My personal goal will be to retake the GMAT test and score >650/800.

What about you? What will be your new goal(s) for 2017?

Not drinking from empty bottles or swimming in dry rivers.

At the age of seventy four my perspectives are stronger and even more focused than ever. I wish only the best for others in health and happiness.


I am a benefactor of good circumstance. Even at my age I still work with both those less fortunate and people that are more fortunate with problems.


It drives home many things including compassion. Most people are semi isolated from many things I see. I am not sure this is a good thing.


I am not a religious person. Yet the expression except for the grace of god go I is pretty accurate.


As an example I will spend some time later today with a younger mentally well advanced four year old child that abuses animals. We will revue several horrific videos of what abuse can evolve into for animals. Plus discuss aspects of it.


Common verbal therapy or correction alone is not as effective. Just more time consuming and less productive in general. You deal with them early hopefully to stop abusive attitudes becoming too well established.

Not necessarily in that order.
