Re: public vs private goal setting

Goals private, progress public - partial accountability seems to work best for me!

Ah...nice.
Who wrote, "It is the gentle who have strength..."?
I really need to quote that one in a future blog post. Thanks.

"Define yourself before someone does it for you."

Did you come up with that? It is a great bit of advice/direction.

But the Bristol-based festival organisers (http://slingshoteffect.co.u... - a small but growing business I'm keen to support) are taking their zombie game (and other equally wacky creations) on tour - they're in NYC today. How many cities are now going to be competing for their attention? Anyway - glad you enjoyed, and thanks for the compliments.

hi jim - i certainly don't mean to imply my athletic life ended in my 20's, or that it's not possible/reasonable/smart/fun to set a goal of racing to your genetic potential with grey hairs on our heads. I don't doubt there're thousands of such folks who's wheel i'd struggle to hold.

Besides... doesn't 'staying active' involve speedy trips through the lava fields? lets redefine that phrase :)

I'm 62 and have entered the phase you just left in your 20's. I'm racing. Started out by attempting to complete an Ironman after being inspired to start triathlons again after a 5 year hiatus. I did my first at 42 and quit after 10 years. After 2 Ironman age group wins followed by disappointing races at the World Championship, I'm plotting my third assault on Kona. So, your 60's don't just have to be about staying active.

Rumor. He's in a turf war with Elton John and Man United.

Jason, Mick actually invented the word 'savvy', we now both owe him royalties for its use. Also, i hear he owns all of London, east of the Thames. Truth or rumor?

This letter is nothing short of brilliant and only proves how savvy of a business man the Stone's frontman really is.

question: how are you different in 2010 than you were in 2008 as a result of the credit crunch? anything?
