Thanks @Odysseus M Jones. Not sure about wiser, but greyer for sure!

Grey is a sign of wisdom, you can't put an old head on young shoulders.
Example:
Father & son bull on a hill overlooking a field full of cows.
Son says "dad, let's run down & pleasure a cow each."
Father says "no son, let's walk down & pleasure them all."

I can't help but admire your optimism. You are almost always the "glass half full" guy no matter what the situation is.

Thanks for being the forum's very own Adam Grant.

Have a fantastic birthday brother!

@Andy Black, happy birthday.

Best wishes for the time to come.
Some of your best insights were on networking, and opening doors to strangers who could accept me in business.

I'm not a very social person, but seeing day after day how you practiced the principles, and even wrote posts on them, helped me a bunch.

I'm also really grateful that you have a calm, reasoning voice on this forum.
I remember that we can be quite a heated, overly-passionate bunch here haha.

Thank you for your work and care.

Wow. I’m super humbled. Thanks everyone.

I was going to reply earlier but had a couple of drinks with my wife in the garden watching the kids bounce around on space hoppers.


As to what @Kak said about me being a glass is half full guy (which I appreciate):

I remember a works lunch many years ago where I was chattering away at one end of the table. I looked up and see one of the senior managers watching me.

“You live in a sunny little world Andy”, he said.

“Oh. Doesn’t everyone?” I thought.

Anyway. I’m not even a glass is half full kind of guy. I’m a “Oh wow, I’ve got a glass!” kind of guy. There doesn’t even need to be anything in the glass.

(Don’t get me wrong. It infuriates my wife no end that I see a silver lining in everything and the good in everyone.)

I do believe it’s a learned skill though. I read “The Power Of Positive Thinking For Young People” when I was about 13 and I think it’s been instrumental (as well as having a military dad who jumped all over us if we said we were bored or complained about anything).


As for what @Vigilante said about “Everyone likes Andy. Be like Andy.”

Firstly, thanks. That made me chuckle.

Secondly, it’s simple in the forum to get your point across without antagonising people:
> Thank folks first.
> Ask questions next.
> Have manners.
> Don’t be a d*ck.
> Let them have the last word.

Easy right?
