10 things I've learned in 5 decades +8
#27) Never explain your jokes or pop-culture references to strangers. It makes you both look stupid.
#28) Taking a step back is not a failure, so long as in the end you continue to move forward.
#29) Remember, those that have hurt us do not get to claim credit for what we’ve accomplished. We are what we are, what we’ve become, despite what they did to us. Not because of it.
#30) Being childish and being child-like are not at all the same thing. People often get them mixed up but they are two entirely different qualities.
