This is my friend, Alison Doyle's favorite quote and it fit so well into the tenth day of my Ten Days to a Happier, More Successful Career and Life email class that I used it.
"What can you do with your days but work and hope: let your dreams bind your work to your play." -- Bob Franke (More Quotes.)
This reminds me, too, of William Raspberry, who in his last syndicated column, reflected on why he was retiring from the column and what he wanted to do next with his life. Indeed, he retired from the column because there are so many more dreams he wants to accomplish with his remaining time. Raspberry wrote, βThe next step β or at any rate, my next step β involves two more questions: What is worth doing? What is within my reach?β
And, today, John Madden well-known sports broadcaster, coach, and player in the NFL announced his retirement with these words:
"It's time. I'm 73 years old. My 50th wedding anniversary is this fall. I have two great sons and their families and their five grandchildren are at an age now when they know when I'm home and, more importantly, when I'm not."
How about you? What will you do with the rest of your time? Start with my email class.
